Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

Everyone,

I am finally approching 100 lbs lost. I was talking to my boyfriend the other night about it, and he wanted to know what I wanted or wanted to do to mark the occasion.

So, I am asking all of you. What did you do special to mark your 100 lb loss mark?

Hi Lap Banders! I am absolutely thrilled to join the club! I have lost 102 lbs. in a little more than 10 months. I really can't believe it. The lap band is one of the greatest inventions known to man! It's changed my life and I don't know how I ever carried that 102 lbs around. I feel great!

I lost 100 pounds on 7/21/08. It was/is my parent's wedding anniversary and my best friend of 16 years' birthday. I will never forget what day it was ;-) What a great day and perfect timing.

I am 3 years out but I have lost a total of 167 pounds and I also don't know how I carried around all of that weight. I got my first really ahh moment last week when my mom handed me some shorts and I didn't like the way they fit around the waist, she said give them to someone smaller than you and we all looked at each other and we don't know anyone that good smaller than me... i still had this mental pic of me being on the heavy side.

Hey, I'm happy to join this club!! I lost about 40 before banding, and the rest since.

But, I still have a long way to go.

The other day we bought 50 pound bags of horse feed. They are heavy!!! Its no wonder I was so tired, and never wanted to do anything before banding-- carrying around two sacks of feed on me at all times! It's a wonder I was ever able to make it up the stairs!

There are times that I go for walks and it just amazes me that I feel so light! And with nearly another 100 pounds to go! By that time do you feel like you're floating around??? LOL

I was banded Aug. 4, 2008 and have lost 60 lbs (45 pe-op). I have a total of 160 to lose, and everytime I see that one of you lost 100 pounds or more it helps to keep me motivated. I know that I can do this!! I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your success. You all deserve praise for your accomplisment, and for helping all of us that are just starting out.

Congrats to a fellow MA loser. I'm 6 pounds from goal and I've lost 148 pounds since April 23, 2007. We're the same age too. Let me know how you're doing with maintaining your goal. What's your trick? Please let me know if anything changes once you hit goal.

Great job!

Lizalee I was banded in April 06. I have about 22.1 pounds left, but I am not stressing, I've done the hard bit. I started my second journey with plastic surgery. Just had the Tummy Tuck, and next month I undergo my second surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
