Onederland Finally!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I am 4 months and 7 days out from surgery and have officially gone from 267 pounds to 199 pounds post op! I am finally in the 100's! I have not see. That have seen my weight begin with a 1 since 2005.

This has been an amazing journey and I feel amazing. I must admit it has been an easy journey because my sleeve works for me. Even when I nimble on something I shouldn't my sleeve stops me.

I'm so so excited! Hope everyone feels as good as I!

Congratulations, ualaw. You're ahead of me and I am so ready for Onederland. Surgery, Dec. 4th at 257.2 pounds. This morning I was 201.2. I was going to be happy in Onederland by June 4 (my 6 month mark), so I'm ahead of that. Any day now!

Enjoy your new weight category!! "Swag on, even when casual" [from 'Blurred Lines']

Hi. I have not exercised at all. I eat normally with exception of I juice to help mitigate Hair loss which I have not experienced so far. I do try to eat Protein first. However I will admit that most days I don't get enough protein in. I don't drink Protein Shakes or eat Protein Bars. Just regular foods. A couple of bites of meat then a couple of bites of veggies then done. No bread. No white carbs. No soda. So sugar except for natural sugar from fruits and veggies.

Hope that helps.

Perfect thanks! There is hope for me! I'm not an exercise fanatic either but I'm working on that. I'm getting my Protein, still working on getting all my Water in everyday but it's a struggle somedays. How old are you if you don't mind sharing? I'm 39

I could be each of your mothers--I'm 58.5 years old! So with slower metabolism, I guess all is well. :-)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
