Onederland! What a year it's been.



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone:

I'm wiping away my happy tears as I write this thread. I am officially in Onederland this morning.

A year ago today I started a new me. I'm not proud to say that I weighed 324 pounds on 4/23/07. But I could almost screem from the rooftops that this morning I weighed less than 200 pounds for the first time in more than 20 years.

It's such an emotional thing for me. It's been quite a year.

I'm going to stop blubbering like a baby, wipe away the tears, put on my big girl panties, and start working toward my goal - size 12 pants. Going walking on this fine New England morning.

Thanks for all of your support. I don't think I could have done it without all of you.

Take care.

Sue

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
