I'm in Onederland!!!

I posted on the CA board earlier but I had to share my happiness with you all!! I have finally left the 200 lbs.......I am now One hundred ninety eight 198 lbs!! One-derland truly is One-derful!!!! I am 2 months post op yesterday! I'm a happy girl !!!! One milestone has been met!! Summer 240/198/140

That is great!!! I once made it down as low as 204, but in my teen years on I've never been under 200!! Congrats!!!!!

Thank you Jacquie. It will happen for you too and I'll be there to congratulate you! I am so surprised at 2 months out I'm below 200. WLS is absolutely amazing! I hope you are healthy and happy!! Smiles, Summer

Congrats Summer! I know you have to happy ....I can't wait to get there myself ...it has been years ... the lowest and closest I've been was 213 in the last 5 years .... lately my scale has been mean but I think it is because I just had an outpatient surgery and I'm also having a complication with it (I think it moved the wrong way due to water weight gain and bladder probs) but right before surgery I was at 226 and I know it will be a huge milestone to me to a) get below 213 and b) hit onehundredland .... I am sooo happy for you!

Oh Amy, You'll get there. You don't have that far to go! I'm sure your surgery did stall weight loss. The meds alone will mess you up. I hope you are back to losing soon! Thank you so much for your Support.......it means alot!! Summer

You should be very proud! I know I hadn't been there in more than 6 years! Great Job! Roni 240/190/140

Hi Roni, Congratulations to you great weight loss!!! I'm a Mommy X 2 also!!! We have the same goal weight. I was 125 for years so I'd like to weigh less than 140 but I wanted to set a reasonable goal !!! Just as long as I look good !! Smiles, Summer

My baby turned ONE yesterday I can't believe she is growing up. We are having a big brunch for her on Sunday and it will be the first time that I have seen A LOT of people since surgery, so that should be fun. My surgeon wants me to weigh 136, but I will be thrilled at 140, I don't recall weighing less than 140 even as a teenager. I am still in a weird place with clothes, I can wear anything from a 1x to a 14, just depending on how it fits. I get to have an endoscopy early next week because I am still having problems eating dense protein We are both doing great. I am finding that I am now losing soooo much slower but at least I am losing. If I wouldn't have lost a lot in the very beginning I would be in trouble. Are you exercising a lot? I am finding it hard to find the time, since I am a SAHM with a 3 and 1 year-old. Keep up the good work! Roni 240/190/140

Roni, I have two boys ages 2 & 6 and I'm a SAHM as well. I was exercising at home but this week I joined a gym. I am sore but not as much as I thought I would be. I have a treadmill and a pilates machine at home. I hired a babysitter so I can go to the gym & I worked out this morning since my DH is home. It feels so good to work out again. I was very active b4 the weight - sailing, windsurfing, skiing, and working out!! It's been a long time! Happy Birthday to your sweet little baby. I had a huge party for my boys on their 1st birthdays as well. Just wait until people tell you how great you look Sunday. Enjoy it!! I'm wearing a 16 pants and a 1X on top. I am a Apple shape much bigger on top! My weight loss has totally slowed down- I'm trying not to weigh everyday but it's hard! I'm going to try to burn the fat off by exercise. I pray I can get all the weight off! I hope you get through your endoscopy and can be eating some good protein soon. I was throwing up alot but it seems like I have it under control. I can eat ground beef but can't handle the most tender steak ! Best Wishes !! BTW, my sis-in-law lives near you! Take Care, Summer

I may look into finding a gym that has daycare. Our finances are a bit tight with me SAH, but I need to add the exercise. I just ordered on ebay 6 different aerobic DVD's LOL! Should be hysterical at my house during naptime! I have added some carbs back in my diet (I am addicted to bagel chips and Quakes) but at least they have some protein. My food tolerance sounds like yours, so I wonder if the scope is for nothing, but I would be happy to know if my pouch is the size it should be etc etc. I just pray that it doesn't damage the fistula. I know my surgeon wrote to the GI dr and told him to not touch the fistula. I see the GI dr on Mon and will ask him some questions. I think we are wearing just about the same size. I do notice that I wear a 16W before I can wear a 16. But, I just bought a velvet dress on sale for my Surgeon's Ball and it was a straight 14. A bit curvy for me, but I figure it is the end of the month and I am at least good for 5lbs, I hope?? The party is tomorrow. Take care and KIT! Roni 240/190/140
