I have heard so many different explanations such as the following:

Losing 100 pounds.

Being in the 100's.

Hitting one year post op.

Which of these is true?!

What Is Onederland?! Whatever it is...I want to be there!

What did it feel like getting to Onederland for you and how long did it take (if it isn't the 1 year post op thing)?

I arrived in Onederland yesterday. Finally out of the 200's. Sleeve surgery end of July. Since surgery down 59plus pounds and since starting, down about 70. Hoping to continue and loose another 50 at least. Not getting caught up on the number game just wanting to be healthy and feel good. Good luck to all of you. We are all different and experience a different unique journey. I have had a few problems along the way but still would do it all over again. Still have lots of arthritis pain but can move easier. Not so embarrassed to be seen at the gym and enjoying a great life with my awesome husband of 26 years. Don't compare yourself with anyone else. We are all unique and different. We each have different bodies and medical issues. It is nice to read others problems, weight loss etc. but we are not the same. Each of our doctors and dietitians have very different rules and criteria to follow. That is who you need to listen to for medical advice. This however is a great support group. Each of you will do great. I was scared to death and had lots of reservations but knew I needed to do this to improve my quality of life. I am 60 years old and feel sooo much younger now. It has been a blessing. I don't know what the future holds but know this part of my journey holds no regrets! Good luck to all of you. Remember we all play a big part after surgery to write our own destiny!!!! On to a new healthy life for each and every one of you! I truly wish you the best!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
