Congrats to all who have lost 100 (or more) pounds...I haven't been banded yet, but will look forward to getting my membership in 9 - 12 months.

You are all so inspirational! Who says people can't lose significant amounts of weight with the band! Not y'all! :embaressed_smile:

WOW & Congratulations!!! :crying: What an AMAZING accomplishment. I cannot wait to be able to post that I have reached that same goal. At what weight did you start? What kinds of things did you do to get the weight off? Sharing ideas will help us newbies stay focused and on track to achieve the same goal.

My starting weight was 350. All I've done is follow the bandster rules. I don't drink when I eat or for 1.5-2 hours after. I take small bites, chew well, etc. I eat 3 meals per day and 1 snack, approximately 1000-1200 calories, with 70-80+ grams of Protein a day. My doctor is very aggressive with his fills, but I prefer to keep my fill level on the loose side so I can still eat a normal meal. I don't believe in keeping myself so restricted that I can only have liquids or eat just a few bites at a time. I also don't drink calories. Generally speaking, I only drink Water, with a minimum of 64 ozs a day. I exercise 30 minutes per day, most days. I just started exercising regularly in July and I wish I'd started sooner. I also try to avoid slider foods and I track calories and protein everyday. I allow myself occasional indulgences so when I want something, I just have a little and that has helped me avoid binges.

I finally reached 100lb about a week ago. For some reason, 100lb doesn't seem like as much as you'd think. Probably because I'm tall. Anyway, I'm happy. I think getting a TT would help though haha.

      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.
