Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

Hi July5forme! Think HEALTH, try to tell yourself that you deserve to be healthy in years to come. If you focus only on your looks you might fall by the wayside. I read a really good book that said that health is the only successful motivator and that it is helpful to imagine being able to play and enjoy grandchildren, enjoy having a full life, with whatever that means for you. I have lent the book to someone and have forgotten the name of the lady author. I will post the details as soon as I get it back because it is really good and was a great help for me. It is called Say Goodbye to overeating and is written by an American phsycologist, which would normally scare me off. I bought it on Amazon.< /p>

NINETY NINE POUNDS NIGEL!!!!! YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratualtions!

I just got my letter to take to my "huisarts"....local doctor. I make an appointment for him to do the inital glucose tests, and assessment of family risk, etc. That goes to a surgeon, who does the surgical assessment...from there, who knows?? But, I have taken the first step, and cannot wait to join the 100 pounds lost club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this forum! It is so inspirational to hear how successful you all have been. I am just starting the process. I was going to have RNY because I had so many - 17 coworkers have it and very little complications. Then one of our coworkers had the RNY in Jan. 2006 and intubated and in ICU by the end of the week. She died in early July 2006 never having left the ICU. I have three little girls and I just can't risk it. I chose the Lap Band based on your successes and the fact that only one person has died so far from the Band in the US and that was because it was placed wrong. Keep up the great work. I am quietly reading and absorbing your wisdom and strength so that I can do this too. Thank you, Meg.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
