How long did it take you to lose 100 lbs?



Recommended Posts

The higher the BMI, the quicker the loss. I've seen people lose 100 pounds in 6 months, and I've seen them lose it in a year or more. I never quite got to 100, but it took me about 15 months to lose 93. I was a slow poke.

This makes me feel better I'm almost at a year and only 65 down. My surgery weight was 253.

I lost 99 pounds pre-op -- and that was six-months leading up to my sleeve on September 28. I have lost 111 pounds total as of today (October 6).

Starting weight was 294 but surgery day weight was 255. Was at 100 pounds from the highest weight in 5 or 6 months. 100 pounds from surgery date was about 7 or 8 months. Total lost 174 pounds.

It was so long ago I don't remember when I hit the 100 pound mark, but it took a month Preop plus 18 months postop to lose 160 pounds. I started with a BMI of 50.

It took me 15 months. My high weight was 244 and I was at 239 on the morning of my surgery. I am 16 months post-op now and have lost 101 pounds.

Today I hit the 100 lb loss mark - 199

Not since the surgery, but since my highest weight which prior to surgery was 300.

I am still in disbelief that there is not a "2" before my weight.

I was not one of those fast losers but slow and steady with a few stalls and here I am exactly one year and 4 days out of surgery. I'd wanted to lose the 100 in the first year and here it is!

Starting weight was 353. Lost 100 pounds by 4.5 months. Still averaging 2 lbs a week with mild exercise and sticking with the eating plan my nutritionist gave me. This means no cheating. I will NEVER go back to my old habits or weight.

      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.
