100 lbs lost in 6 months with pics



Recommended Posts

I started my journey on June 18' date=' 2012 at 334.9 lbs, I was a very sad and sick woman who was not living, just existing. Well fast forward 6 months and I weigh 233 lbs (101 lbs), everything about my life has changed! I am loving my new life, enjoying my new body (so is my husband, he's like a kid on Christmas morning - every day!) and I love it! Thank you to Dr. King in Oxford, Mississippi, your my hero! The pictures below speak for themselves, the first two are before and are the most I ever weighed, the first one is the saddest I was ever in my life! The last two are last week (Dec 11) and I still can't believe it's me!

Feb 2012, 345 lbs

May 2012, 334.9 lbs (surgery day weight)

Dec 11, 2012, 234 lbs

Dec 11, 2012, 234 lbs[/quote']

I'm just starting this journey .... You look great!

Hi

I am trying to get my appmt set up with Angie at Dr. Kings office. My internist has recommended the VGS with Dr. King. I have type II diabetes and high BP. I spoke to my insurance company and my Active Health rep says she things it can be done more quickly than I thought because I tried other things with my physician. I am praying for a January consult and to get this show on the road but have read some scary thoughts after reading some of these message boards.

At any rate I have questions. I am looking for support too. Thanks.

Gaye, your post gets me so much hope as I'm starting about where you are. Have about 15 more pounds to lose before I can have surgery. I don't know how old you are, but I just turned 45 this yeas and I don't want to waste anymore time living life like this...I want more! But, it is pretty scary.

      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.
