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?

      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.
