I have officially made it to ONEDERLAND!



Recommended Posts

Am I reading this right? Did you lose almost 100 lbs since your February surgery 4 months ago? This is crazy amazing!

I have lost 100 lbs since January. I was 297 pre-op when I started my preop diet on January 7 and lost 30lbs before the surgery. I was sleeved on Feb 4th (weighed 267), and I now weigh 195 :) When I started the whole process I was 312lbs(October 2013)... I simply cannot believe how far I have come. It looks like we have the same surgery date! How is your sleeve treating you?

Congratulations!!! I know the feeling as I just made it to Onderland today!! My lowest adult weight was 190 and that was 10 years ago. I was only that weight for about a minute. I cannot wait to see 189. Goodbye to the 200's forever!

Congratulations!!! I feel the same way! I will never let myself look at that scale and see a 2 again. I see myself with only 50 lbs to lose and It is so very surreal. I have always had this huge daunting number and now, 50 lbs seems like nothing :) I will be 5 months out on July 4th, and I am still in shock of where I could end up by the time I am a year out! If only when I looked in the mirror I saw a size 14 girl... I still see 28 :/ I cannot wait until the 180's either! For most of my life this has been my goal. I would tell my self, "at 180 I will be happy." I don't feel that way anymore... When my bmi doesn't read "overweight" I will be happy! I want to be a healthy weight! I'm also striving to hit a size 9... I have never in my life been a single digit size.

        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
