Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

Great, I hope to get there too, right now I've lost 52 lbs. How long does it take to loose 100 lbs? I had my surgery on 12/3/08.

116 for me

Hi Bonnie. I noticed that you said that you had too many fills and unfills to keep up with. I am a little anxious with my band. I originally received a 1.2cc fill and had virtually no restriction. I then recieved a 2.0 cc fill and after 4 days, could barely swallow Water. I then received a .6cc unfill (back to 1.4 cc) and now I can eat anything again. Needless to say, my weight fluctuates with every change.... I am at a loss as to what to do next. I follow the rules and exercise, should it really be like this?

Susan, Jess, & Suzzie - congratulations - doesn't it feel wonderful? Keep up the good work.

Lexi - fills are very individualized, some have to have fills and unfills many times and others don't need a fill at all. I myself have been lucky and have only had 2 fills. Just be patient for once you find your sweet spot it will all be worth it. Good luck.

As of my doctor's visit on Wednesday, I've lost 282 pounds in my 3 years since getting the band that saved my life! Heck, 18 more pounds and I'm gonna proudly start a thread for people that have lost over 200 pounds! Congratulations to everyone!!!!! The lap band is one of the greatest inventions ever as us "biggest losers" all know.

LilMissBand-Aid...Thank you so much. 19 pounds to hit 100...you'll do that in no time at all. When I first started researching the band, this was the thread that made me know I could do it. I just hope that I can encourage anyone that has as much weight as I did to lose that it can be done. Good luck to you and you'll be a certified member of this fabulous club before you know it.

I am so darn close to hitting 100lbs but these last 3 pounds just won't budge. I have yo-yo'd up 2-3bls down 2-3lbs up 2-3lbs and down 2-3lbs. I want off this roller coaster ride and just get rid of this last 3lbs so that I can say I have lost 100lbs. in 6 months. Which has been my only goal since starting this journey. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased with my progress but 100lbs is a pivotal point for me and I want to hit dang it!

I go for a fill tomorrow and I am hoping it will be the preverbial sweet spot that I long for. The last 2 weeks have been hunger hell. Can't figure it out but I have been so dang hungry all day long. Nothing is filling me up and I have had to diet through it. So keep your fingers crossed everyone...I want my sweet spot.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Cindy

      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.
