Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I finally made it to One-derland!

I can't remember the last time my weight ever started there. Very nice feeling. My next goal is 196 - then I will be considered Overweight - and not obese by BMI standards. Almost there!!

Congrats, Cbrock! It's a great accomplishment. How much have you lost since getting your band?

Can I join the party?

I was banded on 10/08 and I am now at 206.5 and would be overjoyed to join onederland! I am close but now getting a fill until 11/20 so I am exercising as much as possible and trying to make great food choices.

I will make it though my first halloween with out a bite of candy!!! Pretty good progress for me as I was usually into at least 20 of those darn bite sized snickers by now!

Hi y'all! I'm at 217 this morning and that's fluctuated since last week when I was at 214. I'm having a difficult time and am a bit nervous about going on vacation tomorrow. We are going on a caribbean cruise for 7 days and at this point I can eat most foods. I haven't had steak or chicken/pork or anything that is real coarse but there is so much variety onboard a ship. I guess I will just have to try hard and walk around the ship as much as possible. My restriction is minimal. I really thought I'd be much lower in weight than I am at this point. In any case I would love to be on the path to onederland.

Oops, you may be able to tell that I took my contacts out for the night. Here is the message as it should have been:

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
