WOWOX7 0 Posted August 11, 2008 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? Lois Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starryeyed 0 Posted August 12, 2008 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! starryeyed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marieee 0 Posted August 17, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patty103 0 Posted August 17, 2008 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.

Lizalee 1 Posted August 17, 2008 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???

KarenIn 2 Posted August 17, 2008 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.

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! Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ekat 0 Posted September 8, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
