I've lost 100 pounds today!



Recommended Posts

Yeah, It took 15 months, but I was down 100 pounds today. I can't believe. It's almost embarrassing to even say it. I still have 35-40 pounds to go, but now I believe I can get there. My skin is awful. I have been feeling really self conscious in the last month with the warmer weather. Everything is loose and shakes and it's just discouraging. Sometimes I feel like I look worse, even though I know it's not true. Any advice??

Hope everyone is well.

As the summer has approached, I've had a problem with my skin. I have some lose skin on my arms (I still have around 70 pounds to go) and cottage cheese thighs. I don't even own a pair of shorts! I went to the beach this past weekend and my DH commented that I looked weird wearing jeans on the beach. I've been hitting the net and the boards to find out what to do. The best advise (other than plastic surgery) is a tan. They have a lot of new self-tanners out there that aren't orange or leave you looking like wallpaper (streaks). Having a little color to you skin helps diminish the skins inperfections. I'm going to have to break down and buy some shorts. They'll probably be bermuda - but that'll do.

Oh - Congratulations on your success! 100 pounds...wow!

      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.
