Onderland finally



Recommended Posts

I am so excited. I have hit onderland

I have not seen that on the scale in about 10 years.

I am four and 1/2 months post op and have lost 84 pounds. I have about 50 more to go to get to goal. So happy about making this decision to have the sleeve.

I hope to get into onederland soon. I am already pleased with my decision to have this surgery. I am down 32 lbs since I started dropping weight just prior to my pre-op diet (Oct 23rd) and now into the 11th day post-op. I have already dropped from a 22 Womens Pant size (22W) to a size 18. I haven't seen my weight under 220 since before my youngest son was born in 1988 (almost 27 years ago). This is a major accomplishment!!! I have been wearing 2X mens shirts for years and finally getting into women's clothing again. I love it!!!

Congrats! I can't imagine how you feel. I have never weighed under 300lbs in my adult life. So, getting under 300lbs and then under 200lbs will be amazing!

As of this morning I am in ONEDERLAND! I never thought I'd be back here, and I feel lucky to see it again. It's funny how the small part of my family who know I had VSG are not as enthusiastic as you'd think as they may feel that it's been easy, and even my husband realized the huge effort that goes Into this, but said to me a few days ago that he didn't realize all the hard work and dedication that is involved, nor did he know you can easily gain weight. He has been very supportive every step of the way along with our sons, they've celebrated every milestone and are my cheerleaders. January of this year I started at 303 and now am 199, 104 pounds gone, of which 71 pounds is post sleeve on June 12, 2014. Goal is clearly in my sights!

      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. 🤞
