Today I hit the 100 pound loss !

Start weight 256

Day of surgery 236 (5/12/15)

Today 156 (11/21/15)

It has certainly been a Rollercoaster. I would 100% do it again... only I would have done it years ago!

I don't have complications, I deal with cravings rather well so far. I'm not worried about the holidays and food.

The Rollercoaster part is hormones and emotions. I'm up and down a lot now. (No I'm not bipolar) I do have a LOT of stress in my life right now..... but the awesome part is.....

My back rarely hurts, I sleep well, I have more energy, I enjoy clothing and getting ready in the morning. .. I feel on the outside how I feel in my mind for the first time.

Best wishes to all wherever you are on your journey!

Congrats! You look fantastic! All your hard work has sure paid off! It's such an inspiration to see stories like this. It keeps me working hard towards my own 100 pound loss mark!

I think a lot of us can't imagine losing 100 pounds, but you showed us it's possible. You look so happy and that makes all of the hard days worth it!

Congrats!!!!

Wow, you look imaging. I started at the same weight you did. I sure hope I get as good results as you did! I'm only 3 weeks out.

Patience for sure. Everyone's progress is individual and at its own pace. With good habits you'll get there and when your body is ready. I only mention this because I know I compared to a couple other people who had the same stats as me. Some lost slower, and one faster. .. watching her loose at a faster rate was hard and I had to be put in check by a friend who reminded me of the same thing I'm saying to you.

Congratulations on your surgery! Be kind to yourself during the process. You'll get there!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
