Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I have been looking forward to onderland for a while now. My scale will move a whole bunch at once, and then nothing for a week or two. Well the last couple days it has moved me closer to 199! I really wanted to be there by Thanksgiving but I dont think that is going to happen now. We will see though, I am stepping up my work outs and really being careful with my food. 6 lbs to go!!! I think I want to treat myself to something when I get there but cant decide what. Maybe I will highlight my hair or something. What did you all do?

That would be a great Christmas present, Mcgreen--and so would having lost almost 100 lbs. Good for you!

thanks! I haven't been below 200 since 1991! Hopefully it will happen!

you can do it! I've got a reward picked out - a new TV! Something to pamper yourself sounds like a great idea

I was banded on 11/1. Is it too soon to join the countdown to onederland? I can easily see it as I was in Onederland just 3 years ago. The past few years have been rough with the ilnesses and loss of my parents. I also have 2 children at home. Somehow with all of the stress and lack of sleep, I managed to gain 50 more pounds. After trying unsuccessfully to get it off for the past year, I joined the bandwagon. I lost 15lbs before surgery by starving and 10 since. Gas pain and generally feeling lousy after surgery makes it easy to stick to the liquid. Now I'm hungry. Anyway, I hope to cross the bridge into Onederland by New Years. Not sure if that's realistic but I'm going to shoot for it!

I am with you all...199 by Thanksgiving! (and then keep it there after thanksgiving, HA!)

Just a thought, and I wonder how many of you would feel the same...in the past, Halloween was usually my gateway to a solid weight gain through the holidays. NOT ANYMORE!!! Feels so good.....

Keep up the great work everyone!

200.0 I can't get any closer. 0.000000000001 pounds to go. If only my scale weighed to that! Maybe tomorrow, but definetly by thanksgiving. You are all doing great. I had to get a total unfill yesterday cause I didn't chew properly a few days ago and everything is agitated and irritated, so I am going to have to get to and stay in onederland with will power! Wish me luck.

      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.
