WOW - thanks everyone for posting. It gives us just starting a lot of hope. I am being banded on June 14th - it can't come soon enough. I feel like I am trapped and the band is the key to open the lock and get me started. 200lbs seems like a lot to lose. :) I will be happy to have 100 off in less than a year (personal goal) and will continue to try for that next 100lbs.

Keep up the good work everyone and I hope to join you soon! :clap2:

I was banded 7/4/05 By Ortiz in Mexico. I have had no complications and it has been an easy, slow loss! I am the worse bandster in the world and I still manage to keep plunking away at it!

The beginining of April I was happy wiht my 80 pounds down, saw a new fill Dr , who lectured me on the sins of sugar and the bad things I ingest, filled me alittle too tight, got back on track with my food and here I am down another 20....for the total of 100!

He thinks the beauty of the band that once you get it off, it stays off...so he believes in working hard in getting it off, unlike I was doing!

I wanted to be to my original goal by the 2 yr date and that is 215.....only 20 more pounds..I can make that!

I know have a new goal..and its to see "onederland..." And I will!

This saved my life and I have no regrets!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

What a great accomplishment you all have achieved.:clap2:

I'm not even banded yet, and I have chills going up my spine as I scrolled down the list of the 100+ Club.:omg:

I've been on here for 2 weeks now, but I had not been to this topic. I really needed this today. For some reason, I just realized today the the majority of banders lose about 70% of their excess weight.:faint:

I'd love to lose 100. 70% would mean I'd only lose 70 lbs. So I've been searching to see if there were other banders out there, who have 100 lbs to lose to get thier ideal body weight. This has given me hope. I would be happy with 70, ;) but really satisfied with 100.:biggrin1:

Thank you for your insperation. Because of all of you, I know it is possible, and I'm going to do it too.:clap2:

So I've been searching to see if there were other banders out there, who have 100 lbs to lose to get thier ideal body weight.

I had 157lbs to lose to get to the high end of healthy, I ended up losing 183lbs, and am at the lower end of healthy.

Losing 100% of the excess weight can be done.

Oh, and my weight loss needs updating, as does my user name.

I was Aussie Chick with 152lbs lost, I am now Chickie, with 183lbs lost. Thank you.

Today I hit 100 pounds lost! I was banded Feb.28, 2006. Thanks to this group I saw that it was possible to drop 100 pounds. Now I only have 50 pounds to go. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! When I got discouraged I always remembered the 100 lb. losers. You're the best and this site is worth its weight in gold.

Happy2

I'm glad to hear that their is someone close to my age and losing 100 lbs in one year. I hope that I will become one of you by next year. Heard today that I was approved for surgery and will set it up on Monday. Surgery can be as early as June 6. This site has been addictive while I'm waiting. It has been GREAT! I hope that I can get the support I'll need after surgery. I know I will. Thanks again for the inspiration.

      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.
