It took a long time for me to get to onderland. I would get to 203 and then do something to sabotage my program.

I have been under 200 for about a month now so I guess it is safe to call it official. I am at onderland something I having done in 25 years.

I hit 209 today and now can really see that I will return to Onderland in the not too distant future.

Can't wait, funny how it is inspiring to visualize going to the 'other' side of a number!

I haven't been in Onderland since 1998!

I am at 203.5 lbs.

I have a follow-up appointment in 3 weeks. I am aiming for 199 (at least) by then. I'm so close!

I think the last time I was below 200 was my freshman year in college. It's almost nervewracking.

Count me in! After a very lonnnng plateau, I am losing again. Thank goodness. I had to give myself a big kick in the behind and also a small fill.

I am at 215 lbs. Being accountable here hopefully will help me kick some of my nasty habits that have been holding me back.

I can't wait! :crying:

      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. 🤞
