I told myself I'd only post once about me me me and that it was going to be when I hit the 100 pound mark. So...here it is! I haven't suffered too much along the way and am very happy with my progress. The only funny thing is that I'm not that aware of how different I look. People say it all the time, but I still feel like myself. I guess I get less tired going up a hill or something, but it's not as earth shattering a difference as I might have expected. Now I'm struggling with wardrobe and what I want my goal weight to be, and have visions of a Tummy Tuck and maybe a boob lift down the road.

Anyway, a one time yay for me!

Congrats to you!!! I, too, have lost over 100 lbs. I still have issues with looking in the mirror and "not seeing it", although I get comments daily. I had to get rid of 90% of my wardrobe! Anybody have suggestions on where to go to get cheap clothes?

That's awsome! I know how excited I was to get to the 100 pound mark, it brought me pretty much at goal too.

I am so proud of you and the others that have lost 100 lbs. I still have over 100 to go and I am impressed with how you have done. I am two months out and would love to hear what all you did or didn't do. Can you tell me at what calorie level you are eatting and how much exercise you are doing.

The mirror will eventually help you out. I find that taking a picture and comparing them is when I really notice changes. Try that.

YAHHHHH

Hey I have been going to the Goodwill, you would be surprised at some of the really nice items that are there. I actually have a Salvation army and a huge flea market also in my town.

Also check to see if you have an adult consignment shop in your area. I found I could make money selling my old clothes to help pay for the next size down.

Are you where you are done losing? If you are then maybe try Old Navy and Kohls. They tend to have good sales and nice stuff that isn't break the bank.

Can I ask exactly what did you do over the past 6 months? What calorie level did you eat at? How much did you exercise? How many fills did it take to get restriction?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
