madwife2002 110 Posted October 25, 2014 I was sleeved on 2nd June this year and I am waiting patiently to drop into onederland I have 5 lbs to go!!! I am so excited I cannot even remember when I saw that kind of weight it was so long ago. My journey since June has been amazing, the weight hasn't dropped off me quickly it has been slow and steady. I was anxious at first when I would read about how much people would lose, I would compare myself to everybody on the boards. Now I am chilled I just listen to my own body, I weigh myself once a week and if I am the same I don't stress I know it will come off. I have lost 58 lbs since surgery and 75lbs since April! How awesome is this I have about 60lbs left to lose and I expect it could take another year-will I get to 145 who knows Postive things about weight loss surgery I am more agile and less clumsy I can fit into airplane seats and the belt is loose My clothes look so much better on me I can feel bones I fit into normal clothes I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14!

katonaboat 44 Posted October 27, 2014 I've also had slow, but steady weight loss since my surgery June 12th. For the longest time, I didn't really believe I would see onederland, but this morning the scale read 210- and I can see it coming! I'll be so happy when that number on the scale starts with a 1- and just think we go to the doctor and they no longer have to slide that bar over to the 200 mark!

teemarie1078 165 Posted November 8, 2014 Hit onederland yesterday!'198! Hope all of you are doing well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachplum 133 Posted November 8, 2014 I had surgery May 15th this year. I was 305 day of surgery and 328 when I started the liquid diet 3 weeks before surgery. Today I am 215! Onederland is so close! I haven't been there since sometime in the 1990's. I am beyond thrilled and know that this is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16. I look and feel so much better. And out in the world people actually treat me better (which is a reflection on society and not me) but whatever - I will take it! I move easier, can wear heels again, things don't ache like they used to, and I can actually run again. I couldn't be happier!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
