Jennifer in ONDERLAND!!!!!!!!
I made it - I made it - I made it!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been watching the scale read below 200 for the last few days and finally feel ready to post that I am in onderland. You know a girl has to make sure.
I hope to never see the 200's or 300's again for that matter. I never would have thought last year at this time I would be typing this but yeah I am!!!
Good luck on your journeys, Jennifer
361 / 198 / 175ish? - 1 year and 1 week out !!!!!!
HI Ema,
First off thanks for using the word success in a sentence about me. I still find it hard to believe that.
I read your profile and feel for you in the waiting for surgery thing.
As far as what I have done - I think everyone just has to find what works for them.
1 thing that I do believe has worked to my advantage is that I haven't been hungary since surgery. Most say it comes back at about 6 months but mine hasn't . that isn't to say that I don't want things from time to time. And I have felt like i needed to eat but it is diffrent than before. Now I can control it. and ofcourse the pouch is there so I can't eat much any way.
Another thing I have done is to never go over 4 oz permeal. Most say that by 1 year you can be up to a cup of food but I say why?? If I can feel satisfied on 4oz and I make sure they are high protein then i don't do more and so far it is working for me.
Not to say I haven't had things I shouldn't have. My biggest indulgence is frozen coke slurpees-no carbination and the sugar helps in the bathroom department ( sorry TMI)
But I have a little sip of 1 every once in a great while and I am fine with that.
I also started water aerobics at about 7 months out and that has helps alot.
I do weekly updates on my profile if you want to see how my weight loss went and is going.
Good luck and i will keep you in my prayers
from 1 miltary wife to another, jennifer

OMG OMG OMG

....I am soooooooo happy for you!!! I'm also right behind you honey...I've been flirting with onderland for a couple of weeks. Right now I'm at 202 but I FINALLY started my menstral cycle so I know I will be dropping some after that is over. I have my one year on 11/22 and hope to be under 200 at that time so keep me in your prayers
CONGRATULATIONS...your hard work paying off BIG TIME!!!
