Why bariatric surgery isn’t the easy way out
You didn’t take the easy way out for choosing bariatric surgery to steer your life in a different direction.
Removing 80% of your stomach requires 100% of your commitment.
Tell us if we’re wrong here, but there seems nothing easy about:
- meeting your protein goals every day
- making sure you’re hydrated too
- dealing with body distortion
- taking your vitamins each day (and yeah…you’re battling that nausea too)
- the stigma of bariatric surgery (because society can be a real pain in the b*tt sometimes)
- not being able to drink straight after your meal
- dealing with loose skin
- and so much more…
Well, the list goes on and on. And our mission is to help you THRIVE in your journey. How? With no-nonsense tips, simple recipes and a supportive group you can rely on.
You’re not alone!

Does Your Onederland offer 1:1 coaching?
Your Onederland offers a wide array of bariatric education that touches on topics like basic nutrition principles and mindset shifts.

How is Your Onederland different from a Facebook group?
Your Onederland is the actual platform itself! The community platform – which is accessible after you’ve created a free account – is created for bariatric journeys only.

You can become friends with other people who are on their bariatric journey as well. You can find all things bariatric surgery – education, connection and support – on one single platform! And we hold empathy and genuine support in high regard. Pretty awesome right?
I didn’t have bariatric surgery yet. Can I still join?
Yes, you can! We actually encourage you to join Your Onederland when you’re still pre-op. The sooner you know about the basic nutrition and mindset principles, the better! Create an account and join team pre-op to meet other people who are awaiting their surgery (date) as well (side note: you can even create your own support group to meet your surgery twins!).
What's in it for me?
The question is what isn’t? Your Onederland gives you an all-round framework to hit your post-op goals. How? With an oasis of reliabe resources, support groups and bariatric friendly recipes. We create journals and (cook)books so that you can hold yourself accountable without overpaying hundreds of dollars on membership fees. Start with our FREE Nutrition Guide!

Can I stop seeing my bariatric team when I join Your Onederland?
