highland 168 Posted June 12, 2011 How has loss of 100 pounds changed my life? Here are just a few off top of my head..... I can go out in public and not be embarrassed. I can wear bluejeans comfortably. I can fit into booths at resteraunts and movie theaters without problems. My legs don't rub together catching my pants on fire....:nervous My nieces and nephews can sit on my lap, I never had one before. I have more confidence in myself to get up in front of crowds now. Wow! You look fantastic! I am ready for the challenge ahead....you are an inspiration! Thanks! I can wear a seatbelt in the vehicle now (before it would not fit) I don't suffer from severe depression anymore. I have energy to exercise and do more outdoors things with my husband. I can shop for clothes in my hometown instead of ordering everything from plus size catalogs. The JOY I get if I pass someone I know who has not seen me in a long time and they don't recognize that it is me!!! :clap2: My favorite...My husband tells everyong he got a new wife and did not even have to get a divorce.:kiss2: See attached photo of how it looks.....

mistybrooks 2 Posted June 16, 2011 Congratulations! When I read your list...I could relate 100% to these feelings! It is only going to be better too. Keep up the great work! Mistybrooks you wouldnt believe the difference 100lbs can make, even 30lbs makes a big big difference. I dont sweat anymore even when Im not moving around I dont get back ache I can stand for half an hour without leaning on something I can stand and prepare a meal I can reach all my cheeky bits in the shower. I can buy clothes all be it in a fat shop, but now Im within their size range. shoes are 2 size smaller even jewellry I can buy an 18" chain instead of a 24" chain I sleep right through the night instead of sleeping an hour wake for 2 hours etc I can get a bath instead of showering all the time, cos I fit now. I can get out of the bath and in the bath !! I can wrap a towel around myself I can dry all my important little parts ! I can kneel down to clean the hearth I can get up again !! I can fit comfortable in a plane seat and get the tray down (still need an extender though) I needed an emergency operation and was told if Id been the weight I was they would have just had to let me die !!! in otherwords ITS FANTASTIC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Msbandtastic 1 Posted July 10, 2011 I was banded on October 13, 2010 and this week I am down 101.5 pounds. Hi Everyone- It has been on my mind lately to start a new post as a positive, motivational, and inspiring thread. I have noticed several threads lately where those considering surgery are asking if it is 'possible' to lose 100 pounds with the band. My answer to that is...Yes, it definitely is. Many say it is not realistic. But I have watched the amazing progress of LBT members on the board, and believe it is not only realistic, it is happening to many of our LBT members all around us. And for those that aren't quite there yet, many members are extremely close. As time goes by with lapband increasing in popularity and the number of LBT members growing everyday, I believe the list is only going to increase by leaps and bounds. Any and all weight loss is a huge accomplishment for us all. While I realize that many members don't need to lose 100 pounds or more, many do. And for those who do, it offers not only motivation to see that other bandsters have done it...but most importantly it offers the hope that it can be done with the band! This will be a running thread to offer positive motivation, inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Please PM me or post here to have your name added to the growing list when you hit 100 pounds lost, or if you want your amount lost updated. Congratulations to everyone on any and all weight loss!
