WingRider 1 Posted January 13, 2010 How did you guys do it? I still have 60lbs to go. I have lost 66 in 3 months but would have LOVED to have lost the 100lbs by now. What do you guys do? Eat? Excersise? Tell me please ... Congrats to all :-D I haven't done it yet, but am working towards it. I am walking, all I can do right now at 2 weeks post op, but I plan on getting to the gym for more strenuous activity as I get released to do so. A lot of us looking at the 100 pounds in 4 months are either serious heavy weights(no offense anyone, I myself am in that group) or are guy heavyweights who lose a lot faster than women. Don't get discouraged, even if I don't make the 100 in 4 months, I am not going to beat myself up over it. I will be happy with what I do lose. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinoneday 445 Posted January 14, 2010 Hi all, wow, have you all ever done well. . . keep up the good work. . WingRider, you will get to your 100 lb goal . . you seem very determined to do that. . . keep up the excellent work. . . this thing isn't easy but together we'll get there! I fit right in there with the heavyweights and lose alot faster then some one who is "lighter" . . . I'm not weighing in often, only each time i go to the doctor . . . so my next ticker move won't be until February 15th. . . i'm not going to use my scale, cause then i'll become a prisoner to the scale and be disappointed just like before the sleeve. . . good luck all! We can do this!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chancie 65 Posted January 15, 2010 I just gotta pipe in here and say..... I didn't "PLAN" on losing 100 pounds in 4 months........ it was not a goal....... I just wanted to follow the "plan" and....... it worked. I don't think I will make "goal" by the 9th of Feb. But I'm not gonna beat myself up over that either. I think that almost 200 pounds by 1 year....... was a bit unrealistic........ my doc says it can be done..... and I was REALLLY ahead of the game. but now. .. my last visit.... I was right on target.... but its not as easy now... I've lost 164.. and am proud of that!! 1 Staisea reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moka5298 0 Posted March 7, 2010 are you by-passed or sleeved? its wonderfull! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauramomof3 2 Posted March 7, 2010 moka, most of the people on here have been sleeved. some started out with a band and have been revised to a sleeve. it is amazing that these ladies and gents have lost over 100# in 4 to 6 months. what an awesome thought to be down 100#. i have 30 more # to go. don't think i will make it by the 4 month mark but i want beat myself up either. good luck mona and welcome to the sleevers club.

Phatcurves 3 Posted April 16, 2010 While 100lbs in 4 months might be a little aggressive unless either male or sssob, what is the norms for say 4 months. Is ten pounds a month normal? Is twenty? I am 300 lbs and have my surgery coming up in 4 weeks. I sit here day (or night) dreaming about how I am going to look in a few months. Can anyone shed some light on how much is average. And I do understand that everyone is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
