Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!

["Just" Paul 1]

Thanks ladies for the Kudos.

Actually, I am now down 112.

More amazing to me is the clothing change. I've lost 16 inches in my pants size, from a 56-58 down to a 42.

70 more to go!!!!

I have lost 101 since my highest... not too sure if this is for weightloss from surgery only?

You guys are doing great!

Hi Heather!

It absolutely counts!! 100 pounds lost from your highest, whenever that may have been, is a huge accomplishment. Congratulations on your amazing weight loss!! Welcome to the club!

100 pounds lost from your highest, whenever that may have been,

Well in that case, I was 277 over 4 years ago and am now at 162. Started my lap-band journey at 244 on 8-14-03.

Seventy more to go?? You're at 254 now, you want to be at 184? Won't you be skin and bones?

this is a great thread. i had 183 pounds to lose when i was first banded. i have only lost 55 pouinds but am looking forward to losing the last 128 with all of you. i want to say thank you for all your kind words of encouragement and support through out this. I can hardly wait to add my name to the 100 pounds gone club.

Congrats to all of you who have made it here already. never lose sight of who you are for those of us who are struggling to get here.

P'nut,

According to the BMI charts, I am "normal" at 189. We'll see, I just may look like skin and bones!

I also want to go a little low bfore I consider any plastic surgery... a Tummy Tuck may occur if my skin does not tighten up, again, we'll see. I've heard from a few that it is better to go a little low before a tuck, that way when you get back to "normal" it is nice and tight in your abdomen. Again, we'll see.

To add to this, I went and bought new jeans last night... 42s, and I could get on the 40's, but were tooo tight for comfort... but I got them on!

Hey Paul - I'm planning on doing the same thing before any PS. My BMI shows me normal at 130. Maybe I've just been fat so long that I'm afraid to be that "skinny" now. The last time I weighed 130 was 30 years ago, and I don't want to look old and frail! But I might just go for that before the PS and then gain a few to look a bit healthier. Like you said, we'll see! We are exploring unknown territories! LOL

Ain't it the truth!

Hi my name is Angie C. I was banded 4-15-04 and I have lost 110lbs and have reached my goal. So it is possible to lose more than 100lbs with the band.

[PhotoNut 7]

Hiya Angie!! Go to the Introduction Forum on the main page of LBT and post so everyone will meet you. Do you have before and after pics? I'd love to see what you've accomplished in just one year!! Wow! Grats and welcome to LBT!

I was happy to see how many people were on the 100+ list. I was a little disappointed when leaving my doctor's office with them telling me... you need to be 135 lbs, however, we see that with the lap band, you will realistically be 200 lbs. I was saying to myself... what am I going to go through this for? Well, I guess it's better to be 200 than it is to be 300+ so I went ahead with being banded. I just read this thread 2 days post-op and am encouraged that I will make my goal, which is 150 lbs.

Angie C-

Welcome to the club. You're weight loss is awesome girl!! Keep up the great work:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Sugar1-

It is not only possible, it will happen for you! Keep a positive attitude, do everything they tell you, and work the band as hard as you can (especially in the first 6 months), and most importantly...have patience. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.:scared:
