Approaching the 200 mark...



Recommended Posts

...hey all, I got on the scale this morning and found that I weight 200.6 lbs... hmmm:wink2: and YAY! :thumbup: Can't wait until I pass the 200s..

YAY:thumbup: - because I don't think I've been at 200 lbs in at least 6 or 7 years and that I've found the band helps me not to put on weight in between the times when I'm feeling like staying healthy.

hmmm:wink2:... because I wonder what it is about a number on a scale that means so much to me. I won't be a better person if I weight 1xx rather than 2xx, but I'm sooo pleased to be getting to that point. It somehow symbolizes something.

I'm less than halfway through my LapBand weightloss journey, but it's really making a difference to my success - the weight isn't coming off quickly, but it keeps coming off...

Good luck to everyone else - any similar stories? What was it like for you when you were approaching the 200 mark?

Congratulations! That is awesome!

I am the same way with the scale...when I see a good number I am very happy. I am having an issue with the urge to weigh myself everyday ( which I know is not good) so I fight with my self everyday. But when you see a lower number it is awesome!

so how are you doing now? I had my surgery middle of March, but haven't lost a lot of weight, like 22 pounds. I have lost more inches than weight.

I also wondered if me being over 50 had anything to do with it as well. I walk and swim as well as watch what I eat. My third fill is in two weeks.

hitting 198 was awesome. It feels like it took forever. I seem to have to be more and more active though to keep it moving! Is this what you have found?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
