Just call me Alice because I'm in Onederland today!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody,

I've been silent for a long time. Over the Xmas holidays I had some setbacks, not the band, only me and life. I'm back on track and have reached the important intermediate goal of Onederland. My emphasis for now is Protein first. I'm hoping for some visual changes soon and dumping most of my larger clothes. At half-way through my weight loss journey I need to keep up the momentum. Do any of you have anything to say to help me stay successful?

thanks,

the laughing cat

first be sure your fill is just right. Start a new exercise plan and read back of packages for the protient you need. Good luck I am sure you will do fine

Congratulations !! I can just imagine how happy and proud you must feel. I on the other hand came on tonight because of failure. This is the first in a long time that I have been on. I have gained back 15 of my 45 lost and see no stopping and am getting very depressed which makes me eat more. I can't get a fill because I can sometimes still get stuck but other times I can eat as if I never had the band and won't get stuck or full. I think my pouch is stretched to the limit and I think even if I did get a fill it wouldn't matter.

Sorry didn't mean to get into this on your Onderland day. Congratulations again and again !!

Sorry to hear about your set back, don't get down on yourself we all have or will have set backs or like I just went through 2 1/2 weeks of no weight loss. Eating low fat with zero results. I kept on going and it finally paid off. Just get back on your schedule and look forward!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
