I finally made it to Onederland



Recommended Posts

I am now 199, I didn't even understand what onederland meant, lol. I started my journey at 274 pounds and could barely walk around the mall, now almost 8 months later I'm 199. I'm a slower loser but I'm proud of myself. I love eating healthy without feeling like I'm on a diet and I now look forward to my 2 mile walks everyday. I have another 52 pounds to go and I will get there. I am so glad I went through with the surgery, I was so scared and wanted to cancel. But I kept reading peoples posts on this board and stuck with it becauce of everyone here, so thank you all for helping me change my life. Janine

Congrats on Wonderland!

I am right on your heels with less then 2 pounds to loose, but I have been stuck in a major rut and can't get out of it flucating a pound or two every day.

Hopefully I will be joining you in Wonderville at least by next week.

      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.
