I am curious to those of you who want to lose one hundred pounds and to those of you who have lost one hundred pounds... Im 5”2, 230 pounds and my goal weight is 130 pounds. Why 130? I like nice round numbers lol. So my question is…. What does it feel like? Please share your experiences. Thanks in advance :)

Before surgery, in my past, I lost 100 lbs 3 different times (regained each time) with WW and exercise ....it feels awesome! I just allowed myself to get lazy about all the things I did to lose the weight. I plan on maintaining this time around.

Best of luck to you!!

The words don't exist to describe it. There's a spring in your step that you haven't seen in a very long time. There's a mental high that leads to a physical one. It's just...-amazing.

What it feels like is...rebirth! I have soooo much more energy now and WANT to do things, instead of avoid them. I like what I see in the mirror (Finally) and it's even fun to get dressed in the morning. I get to pick out just the right outfit instead of just figuring out what I have that I didn't wear three days ago and covers what I want it to cover...you're going to LOVE it! Best wishes to you on this journey. Other than choosing my fabulous husband, it's the best decision I ever made. I hope you'll feel the same.

      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.
