Why is onederland so evasive?!



Recommended Posts

I am 7 months out and finally broke the 200 mark- actually down to 191. !!! But the scale has not move at all this month...very FRUSTRATING ! I know the weight loss slows down but this can't be it ☹️ I work out with a trainer two days a week and try to walk a mile two other days, I am getting my Protein, taking my Vitamins and Calcium . I do admit I stopped counting how much Water I drink. But how do I kick thus back into gear and start dropping again? I will take any advise, criticism and help... I am just at a loss as to what to do.

Onederland is still a goal for me. I was 13bs away... then 18... then 15... etc, etc. I'll get there one of these days. I haven't lost all hope (just a little though, to be honest). Ugh!

Never made it. But I'm 5 ft 11 inches and look and feel better than I ever have. I've lost 116 pounds. Am an athlete. And, accept that scale numbers should not control our emotions.

After 6 mths the weightloss slows down. Just change your exercise routine. Shock ur body, you will continue to lose whether its inches or 1 to 2 lbs a week. Enjoy the journey. I am 19 months out and still working hard.

Weight training burns fat and builds muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Your scale number will mean something different at that point. Dont go by the number on the scale, go by how the clothes fits u.

      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!!
