I finally made it to ONEDERLAND!



Recommended Posts

This morning the scale finally read 199.8!!!! I had surgery on 5/16/16, my highest weight was 252, surgery weight was 226.4.....So a total of 52.2lbs down!!

I know with my current weight being so close to 200 I may very well see that 2 again......but dang it, I made it and I'm going to cheer about it!!!! Yay me!!! :D

Congratulations!!! I am so happy to read your post today. We are almost exactly the same..i was sleeved 5/17. Hw 254, Sw 230..on monday I also made it to onederland. I was so excited...30lbs! Whoot. Then I saw my nut the same day who burst my bue and told me they expected me to be down 40lbs..by the two month mark. I was so down after that. Readinng your b post tells me I have no reason to be down..and am right where I am suppossed to be. We are killing it!! Go us!!

@@DonnaJeanne I agree we are killing it and thankfully my surgeon is thrilled with my progress! But they didn't weigh me on the day of surgery just during my pre-op appointment which was just before I started my two week pre-op diet.. :P Congrats on your progress and keep on keeping on!!

Hooray! I am going to cry when I find Onederland. Today I weighed myself just for fun (I'm one week post-op) and was 255... I haven't been able to break below 260 in years. I was 265 surgery day. I'm so happy I did this, and I can't wait to join you at the Mad Hatter's tea and Protein cake party!

@@kmorri @DonnaJeanne. My stats are also very close to yours. DonnaJeanne, I think it sucks that your NUT burst your bubble. My surgeon has been extremely pleased with my progress. I'm 5'6" my HW was 254, surgery weight was 229 on 5/10/16 and I hit Onederland on Sunday which was exactly 2 months/nearly 9 wks postop . Today my weight is 196.5. My next goal is 185 which will make my BMI *only* overweight (instead of obese).

      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.
