Onderland for me too!!
Its official! I am in onderland for the first time in 20 years. I am down almost 40 lbs, and feel great! Even though I do miss certain foods occassionally, I am thrilled with my new lifestyle. I am off all diabetic meds, bladder meds, BP meds and am only taking my allergy med and a boatload of vitamins.
Its funny though, I got my hair cut while I was out recovering, and thats what people think is different about me!! On the upside, they do like the hair! Very few have said anything about me losing weight. (with the exception of one individual who actually asked if I had GAINED a few pounds? WTF???? B-T-H).
Well, just wanted my OH family to be the second to know!! DH was first of course.
Everyone have a great hump day! Stay warm, its 20 here,
can't wait for spring!.

First, I started out at a lower BMI than you did, so to reach the 100's was quicker for me. I have a very strict DR. who kept me on a liquid diet for 2 weeks post op, which helped. I still can only eat very small amounts, especially at dinner. I have just started exercising which has helped. Otherwise, except for only weighing once a week just trying to be good. But look at all you've lost already!!!! Over 130 lbs, which is my entire goal!!! Your doing great. Keep it up!!

I was actually on 3 weeks post op liquids only... was tough.. but now I can pretty much eat anything I want. Of course alot smaller portions..... but other than Marie Callanders Turkey Pot Pie, nothing has fought with my pouch. I have over eaten once and learned my lesson. I drink EAS Myoplex protein shakes once a day, and get the rest of my protein throught food. I try to hit the gym once a day but have not started using the weights yet.. little nervous. I lifted some boxes at work monday and my side is still hurting alittle bit.. so might wait a little longer. I really don't regret anything. My soul purpose was to get off my 3 co morbidity medications and I have. I do feel much better and only mourn a few food things. So all in all, happy. I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't gain this weight in 6 weeks, won't loose it that fast either! Keep in touch. Continued success on your weight loss!
I was on a 3 week post op liquid only. That was the hardest part of this whole process ... so far! I can pretty much eat anything I want, just small portions. I now eat protein first, then if any room left, the veggies. Only Marie Callanders Turkey Pot Pie has caused me trouble and I have over-eaten once - learned my lesson! Keep in touch. Good luck with your continued weight loss.
Duh, don't know what I read, but I thought your's said you had lost 130 already. Must have been a dream!! Anyway, you know we all lose at a different pace. I'm sure my stall is coming soon, while you'll keep loosing. Age might also play a part, don't know how old you are, I'm over 50 so????
Anyway, keep going, we'll all get there!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 11 lbs away.
Have you thought about going to the Greenvilee meetup in April?? Come on and ride with me. It's so cool to be able to put a real person with their post and avatars just don't do most of us justice.
