Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations KY teacher:

I can't wait to join you in Onederland! I'm only 10.6 pounds away, but I'm sure it's going to take a while. Hopefully by end of April.

Do you feel different? I was thinking the other day that I know that I look thinner, but I'm still fat. I'm wondering when you start to feel like a "normal" sized person.

Thanks Sue! It's taken me a long time to get here, but it's great! I was banded in July, like you, but see that you have lost a lot more weight than I have...CONGRATS to you! :thumbup: I didn't really feel any different...just proud of myself for finally getting here. GOOD LUCK to you!

Mary Rose:

Sure have been exercising. I really enjoy it now, though it was a chore at the beginning. I walk at least 5 miles per day 6 days per week. On the 7th day I usually still get a couple of miles in.

Been walking my butt, and everything else off!

Thanks.

Sue

WOOHOO! I've wanted to post in this thread for a LONG time now and FINALLY get to! I made it to ONEderland on Friday, weighing in at 198.6!! I had wanted to make it by my birthday which was 3-12, but I was 2 days late, guess I can live with that :cool: Now I'm just 10 pounds shy of being down 100 pounds ..guess that's my next big goal. But being in ONEderland sure feels awesome! My hubby gave me a beautiful ring to mark the occassion!! WOOHOO!!! :mad2:

I just want to poke my head in and say "HI!". I have a ways to go, but now that I am in the 260's comfortably (which I haven't seen in so many years) I know I will want to continue until I drive through the gates of ONE-DERLAND!!

Congratulations to all who have made it already. Way to go!! :biggrin:

Hi all!

I'm very excited to say I weighed 209 this morning:thumbup:. Some of you are like, eewwww why is she so excited. I'm excited because I started this journey last April 23rd and I weighed 324. So, I'm down 115 pounds in just under 11 months. I'm hoping to be able to say I'm in Onederland by April 23rd.

See you in Onederland next month. Gotta go walk off dinner.< /p>

      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. 🤞
