6 months and 3 weeks ago. I was a huffing, puffing, size 24 wearing, 286 lb weighing miserable woman...today I weighed in at 186.2!!, 100 lbs gone and so much more, gone are the size 24's replaced with 12's (I have a lot of muscle!), I don't huff and puff anymore, I can run!, food does not consume my days or my thoughts anymore and I'm happy!! not miserable....If you are struggling or just starting out...I'm just a normal person, my band isn't magic, I follow the rules and respect my band, you can too :)

Congrats on your milestone!!!! I am happy for you. I'm going through changes and rolling with the punches too. I hope my family and friends can too. I have ups and downs, but to see someone else in my shoes too is comforting. I have lost 100 lbs in 6mos and facing friends and family lately was harder than losing the weight. I never prepared for the mental part of it all. I'm glad you shared your post, if just to help me realize why I did this to begin with. Good luck in the future, wish you well. :)

Awesome!!!! I recently passed the 100 lb milestone myself & know while it is an amazing feeling it can also be emotionally confusing at times too. I took a much slower road to the 100 lbs since life got complicated along the way. I lost 85 lbs quickly, then put back 20lbs but now have been heading down again and am up to losing 107.5lbs

You are doing an amazing thing for yourself & believe me your head, body, heart & soul will all be on the same page before you know it!

      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.
