Onederland I can't believe it!



Recommended Posts

I just made it to onederland last week myself so I know how you feel!

I cried when I saw the number too. I also started in the 300's, so I thought I'd never see a 1 again in front of my weight.

It's a wonderful feeling isn't it? You enjoy your accomplishment, you deserve it!!

So you're thinking you want your goal weight to be 180? That's what I originally thought too, but now that I'm in the 190's, I think I could go lower than that. Is that how you feel too?

I got up on the scale this morning and the scale said 198.4. I felt like crying because I never thought I'd make it to the infamous Onderland. If any of you that know me and remember my last posts last year. I didn't think anyone in the 3s would make it to the 1s. I had doubts because I started this journey at 342. I still have 18 more pounds to get to goal, but I was just super excited and wanted to share with you all.

How long it take u to get there?

Well 180 is the goal the Dr set for me. I'd actually like to get down to 160. But if I go no further than 180 I'd be ok because that would still be the smallest I've ever been in my teen and adult life. Congrats on your accomplishment too, by the way

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
