Has anyone lost 100+ pounds?



Recommended Posts

I have now lost 100 pounds since my first surgeon meeting. I didn't expect to lose this much. It has taken 19.5 months. The last 15 pounds took 6 months.

I now weigh 135 pounds and am holding steady here.

Obviously, I haven't been what the newbies think of as a fast loser. But it was absolutely fast enough for me. It doesn't matter one whit how fast you lose, but that you lose and regain control of your eating and your health.

I will be one year out on Thurs, 1/28 and so far have lost 123lbs. I'm not trying to lose at this point, not counting calories or Protein, etc, just doing what I do every day. I haven't exercised at all this winter, but will start again once spring comes so expect to lose again at that time. It's possible!

I have lost exactly 100 pounds including my pre-op loss of 24 pounds. My starting weight was 260 and I now weigh 160 (5 pounds below goal). Took me exactly one year to reach my goal weight of 165 and I have fluctuated between 165 and 160 in the 5 months since then.

I'm down 158lb in 10mo and still losing, but a lot slower which is fine by me. MY goal was to be in the 215-225 range. I'm 222 as of this morning.

I lost a total of 111, which was 3 pounds past the goal weight I hit at 18 months. I have maintained a loss of 106-108 pounds, depending upon the day- I go up and down the same two pounds.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
