Reached 100 lbs. lost! I can't believe it!



Recommended Posts

Started my pre-surgery diet in mid April 2010; banded 8/31/10, but had no restriction whatsoever for months; finally got a good fill 1/21/11 where I could finally only eat a small amount. As of today, 7/4/11, I have lost exactly 100.4 lbs.!!! Starting weight 322 and now I am 221.6. I exercised very little so the weight did not come off as fast as others, but I'll take it anyhow! biggrin.gif I still have a long way to go, but am quite optimistic! I know I am still a big girl, but I feel great! Good luck to all of you out there with your journey!

Great job, really gives me hope :) My band is not where it should be yet and have been getting discouraged on a daily basis. I plan on making an appointment tomorrow to talk with my doc and hopefully get my 3rd fill soon. Crossing my fingers that this will be the one! I get married in 5 months and counting!!!

Whoot Whoot! :party: Every excited for you and I was glad to read your post because I'm at a point where I have no restriction yet and I'm so frustrated so reading your post gave me a little inspiration that once I get good restriction I will be able to work toward my goal a little better. I have to work on the exercise part...I hate that idea...but if I can get restriction and start seeing/feeling things happening exercise might be easier if I see it is working! Keep up the AMAZING work!

      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.
