Why hello there, ONE-derland!



Recommended Posts

Well guess who stepped on the scale this morning to 198.4 pounds? Me, fellow WLS friends! I am officially in "ONE-DERLAND!" Huzzah!!!!!!!

I started 8 months ago at 259 lbs. One lap-band and whole lotta good exercise and careful eating later, and I am finally below 200 lbs for the first time in 15 years.

I am fighting back tears at this very moment!

Had to share this success. This is a big one for me. I reached a goal of getting in the 100's before students came back to the College. I'm not much of a goal-setter, but I'm here!

Woo Woo!

If I can do this, (I am the QUEEN of lack of willpower) ANYONE can do this!!!!

@@hmj2015 You will get there soon enough! I've taken it by by day but honestly looking back, the time has flown, and the work and wait of 8 months to get here (down 62 pounds) has been worth every second. Took me 15 years to pack on the extra 100 pounds, and only 8 months to get rid of over half of it? That's a great deal to me!

Woo wee, feeling so good. La la la!

May I add my congratulations, I am back in ONE-Derland but the last time was about 6 years ago when my band was to tight and I got really cocky and took everything for granted and after 4 years made it back up to 250.

So even though it is possible regain the weight back it is even more possible to get back on track.

Now being back in ONE-derland means a whole lot more My Band is a good tool and gentle reminder to make more good decisions then bad ones.

Keep up the good work

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
