Congrats MESCHULTZ! I know the feeling of being so proud of where you've come from and knowing you have to stay motivated to continue for the long haul. Consider coming over to the 100+ or 200+ lbs to lose thread as there are those of us in the same boat encouraging the long haul lapbanders.

P.S. I hit my -120 lbs mark in the last week or so and I've never posted on this thread...just slipped my mind.

Good afternoon Everyone! :frown:

I have lost over 100 lbs and still have SOOOOO much more to go.. I think I am at a stand still right now and it is breaking my heart ha ha... I AM BETTER THEN THIS.. I can get past the mean plateau.. WISH ME LUCK :tt1: best wishes to everyone else.. you are doing great :lol:

That's an awesome accomplishment - and you should be very proud of yourself! When I reach my end goal, I'll have lost 110 lbs - have currently lost 60 and looking for more. Can't wait till I get to Onederland (hopefully in the next week or so).

Keep up the good work - you are very inspiring!:w00t:

Thank you! This is a great idea and inspiring to pre-op patients like myself who would like to know it is possible to lose 100lbs+ with lapband since I have heard so many naysayers (professionals and gastric bypass patients) who keep feeding me the idea that gastric is better because you can lose MORE weight. From what I understand gastric helps lose weight FASTER but the amount of weight loss is determined by the effort put forth. So congrats to all of you BANDSTERS and thank you for sharing because you inspire me!!

Wonderful job everyone. It can be done with the band. Dont let anyone tell you it cant.

Mrswilson, you are right, alot depends on the amount of effort you put forth. The band is a TOOL, so much can be determined by what we do and what we put in our mouth. WE STILL HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.

Best of luck to everyone.

This is my favourite thread in the whole board and I'm going to be on that list one day... one day SOON!!!
Six months ago I was all excited because I had made it into Onederland (75lb down). At the time, I thought the 100lb lost was the next goal and that it was within reach. In the last six months, I have bounced up and down from 90kg (200lb) to my lowest so far of 84kg (185lb). Six months and only 15lb and that not even consistant... *sigh* Right now I am onsite and won't know my true weight till I get on my home scales in 2 days time but I'd guess I'm back at around 86/87kg (190lb) again. At the bottom end of the bounce (185lb), I'm only 10 pound from reaching this milestone but do you think I can do it?? Noooo... I have to keep sabotaging myself on each trip back to site.

Time to refocus and get recommitted! I haven't finished this journey yet and I want to get to goal!! 100lb down is my next milestone and I vow now that I will achieve it before my first visit to the plastic surgeon on June 12!! That's seven weeks - I can do that!!

The scales are moving again and I'm closing in on the target!! 7.5lb to go - this time I'm going to make it!!!
Congrats to all the new members!! I'll be joining you soon!

That first comment was made on 15th December 08... the last one on 26th May... Here it is, 7th September and I'm STILL not there yet but I'm damn well going to be tomorrow!!! Scales this morning came up at 79.5kg, which is 175.25 in lb language... Rotten things wouldn't give me a quarter of a pound, just so I could see that number 100 come up on my ticker, would they?

But it WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW!!!

Congrats, bklyn!!

As of this morning, I have FINALLY made it!! I must have jinxed myself with that last post because having gotten to within 0.3 of a pound of the magic 100lb number, I promptly BOUNCED and spent the next 3 weeks gaining and losing the same pound over and over. After another fill yesterday, however, I made it over the marker and am now 100lb down! YEEHAH!!!!

ADD ME TO THAT LIST!!

      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.
