Today, I officially hit onderland! I will say that I feel a little bit like a cheat because while I was close, I had abdominal wall reconstruction surgery last week on 1/3/17. I was in the hospital for 5 days and really couldn't eat more than liquids for almost a week. Although I'm back to solids, I'm at about a 1/4 cup right now. I'm trying to hit my Protein and Water goals daily, but it's a struggle with this newest surgery. Everything makes me sick :-/

You will get better day by day. It's rough going in the beginning. You just have to work at that Water and Protein like it's your full time job!

Congrats on Onederland!

Thank you! I know I will feel much better when I lose the JP tubes, drains, and binder. A real shower sounds absolutely heavenly right now ;-)

      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.
