i REALLY needed to read all your entries tonight. Thanks for the laughs and encouragement. I ate 5 choc chip Cookies and other stuff I shouldn't have tonight. I am almost 3 weeks banded and have until March 4 for my 1st fill. So I felt like I could eat whatever I wanted to. Dang it! But I have stopped beating myself up and tomorrow is another GOOD day! This is such a good site to go to every night. THANKS AGAIN!!

It's so great to hear all the stories of people making it to "onderland". And for those of you who suggested panties, great idea!!!

Maybe this weekend I will be able to give myself a little treat. :thumbdown:

Hi... I'm now 6 pounds away from Onederland! I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet just before I started on my Lapband journey. I have charms for each 5, 10 and 25 pounds I lose. In the future, I'm hoping to fill the bracelet!

I am looking for a charm bracelet! I'd like the first charm to be the $ sign as we paid cash, its a hard one to find.

Oh I can chime in here, I hit Onederland TODAY!!! 199 officially and I am so psyched as this was my goal since Christmas.

I was banded on 6/9/09 and had a starting weight of 265, surgery weight of 248 and am now 199. I have gone from a 22/24 to a solid 14. I was a 16 at Christmas. Last weekend Mike and I went to Busch Gardens and this weekend I am supposed to go to Disney World. LOTS of walking. My shirts have gone from a 2x to a L and I am so happy. I have not been 199 since 1991, when my youngest daughter was born. And at the time I wore a 16. I haven't worn a 14 since the day I got married in 1987 to my ex. Somewhere I have the jeans I bought for my honeymoon, I will have to look for them, and see how they fit now. They were giving away t-shirts at the fair last week, and of course they were all size L, well I took one for Mike and he grabbed one for me, I didn't realize it until we got home. I told him I guess you have 2 now, he said why it will fit you. I was laughing and said yeah, nice thought. IT FIT. I was so happy. Last weekend while in Tampa and it was raining we went shopping, I did the new bra and underwear dance there. from a 44 to a 38, yes I am happy with the new bra size, and now my panties are an L instead of a 11. WHOO HOOO

Thinneranniesoon,

Congrats...That is an exciting thing to get into size 14. My stomach is still too flabby for size 14 jeans. But, I did buy size 14 with a elastic waste. I am also, in a 38 bra. I have treated myself to Victoria secret at Christmas. They are almost too big. My husband is happy, he always wanted me to loose. I weighed at 189.8 this morning. I go for "official" weigh in on Wed. PS:My daughter had her surgery, too, and she got into her 14 jeans. So, she would be awfully disappointed if I did, too!:angry:

I have a pair of my oldest daughters 13/14's that she was going to get rid of, and I put them on today, one more inch and I will be able to wear them. We only see each other every couple of weeks, and she is now trying to lose also, because she is into 15's and not too happy. AND she was asked to be Maid of Honor at her best friends wedding in September.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
