Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

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!!!!

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.

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

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.

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:

      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.
