My surgery is Thursday June 9th, my question is has anyone lost a 100 lbs or more? I know everybody is different and loses differently, but I’m curious about losing a 100 or more.

Thank you

June 9th is my surgery day, only down play is I have to do a 3 week liquid diet. It could be worse I guess

I have a six year old that ways 100 lbs, I dont think he is being teased at school,he has not said. But he has heard it from the neighbor hood. I have night mares about his obesity. I am morbidily obese and am having the sleeve done January 9th. I hope my son and I can lose weight together.
Thank You for sharing your story.

I have completed my pre op diet with little to no problems. Really didnt have cravings or feeling of being hungry. Surgery is tomorrow at 7am. My wife asked how was it I had little issues with the liquid diet? I told her I am so committed to losing weight and making this surgery a success that I had no thoughts of failure or "Did I make the right decision?"
I wish everyone a successful journey and a new LIFE.

January 9th is my date, start my liquid diet on the 1st. cant wait to get this done.
49 years old and want to feel young again. Sick of the yoyo weight loss.

What you don't realize is that you ARE in control. Nobody is making you have this surgery. You chose to do it. YOU chose to accept professional advice on effective ways to use this surgery to bring you health and happiness.
Here goes some personal stuff, so anyone who can't handle child sexual abuse and domestic violence should look away now.
Myself and my three sisters were all abused by the same relative (not our dad thank goodness) who died of a heart attack while in prison on his third conviction of child molesting. We each did not know the others were abused also, until his funeral. I think we all wanted to spit on his grave. Is it any wonder that three of us have had bariatric surgery and the fourth one needs it?
To this day (I am 63) I still have horrible nightmares about being trapped, drowning or buried alive, and not in control of my surroundings. Almost always the nightmare takes place either at my grandma's house, an abandoned industrial park, or a post-apocalyptic city......not every night, but boy, if I take any narcotic pain med....I may as well just stay up all night.
In addition to that, in 2005 I escaped in the middle of the night from a diagnosed psychopatic schizophrenic sociopath who isolated me from my family for ten years. He totally controlled all aspects of my being - I feared for my life because he kept five loaded guns in the house and had shot at the neighbors dogs (in their own yard) and shot at other drivers who would pass him on the highway. That is my personal reference for whether or not a situation is out of my control.
So, I can't control what happens in my sleep, but when I am awake, I open up the curtains and get daylight in the house, or in better weather, I go out to the shade in the back yard and read in my quiet place. I know that if I had to wear a CPAP, my nightmares would be worse. Having the surgery will get you to the point where you won't need that device anymore.
Any parent will tell you that if you do not have rules and guidelines, your house will be in constant chaos. If you think of you medical team as gentle loving parents who want you to be healthy and happy, then maybe these new rules and habits won't seem so bad. There is nothing my team has asked me to do that was not for my benefit. Overeating processed junk food and melting into the sofa trapped me in my physical container more than any nightmare ever could.
I cannot imagine carrying around a newborn colt all day and all night (which is how much weight I have lost). My internal body systems have responded well to the outstanding nutrition and exercise it has been getting this past year. Please do not think of this process as deprivation. Our human body was not designed to thrive on Cheetos, Twinkies, Dr. Pepper, and Big Macs. Instead of looking at what you can't eat, look at the bigger picture a year from now and how much better you will feel as a reward for your effort.
Your team can suggest all they want, but YOU have control over whether or not you comply. You are not submitting to misery; you are choosing life. You are choosing to be able to walk (or do a Couch to 5K Run). You are choosing to be able to play with pets or children or grandchildren. You are choosing to be able to sit on a plane or in a car without a seatbelt extender. You are choosing to be able to shop for regular size clothing with some style. You are choosing to have bold confidence and to speak up for yourself. You are choosing to get through your day without dropping exhausted by noon.
Sure, that pre-op liquid diet is a bit**, but it is a well-deserved rite of passage into a new life. Rather than grieving over not being able to support all these industrial farmers like Monsanto, rejoice than you can break free and go for natural healthful whole foods that do not come from a factory.
Even when it comes time to go under the anesthetic and let the doctors take over for a bit, that is still a choice. You can rip out your IV and run out of the hospital, or you can choose to take a little nap and wake up on your journey to a better quality of life. For what little inconvenience a non-complicated surgical experience represents, the payoff is huge. You are more in control of this than you think.

My date is the 9th as well first one that morning at 7am. I start preop diet January 1st.
cant wait to get this over with broke another damn chair in the living room. Feeling more miserable about being so fat.
I need this done right now.

My surgery is January 9th, I start a all liquid diet Jan. 1st. I have been on this journey for about 6 years, I would lose the weight and cancel surgery. I have had enough of yo yo weight loss. Cant wait to be sleeved. My diet now is anything I see I eat, Stopping that Sunday,and back to all Protein fresh fruit and veggies. No diet coke,or any carbonated beverages. I will be 50 at surgery so this is an important step for me, I have young boys in sports and would love to coach them and run with them and skate with them. So I need to lose the weight. I also have a 100 pound 6 year old and I need to set a better example for him to follow. Hes very athletic tall too. but built like his dad. we walk together to keep it off.
Thats my story so far, liquid diet will be the worst but worth it.
Lets hear some more join in...

I am so excited I received the news today... I meet with surgeon on November 24th to make surgery date,
and meet with nut to start 2 week liquid diet. Its been a long time coming.
So looking forward to this.

I havent had surgery yet, but the one thing I will miss the most is my large size. I wont really be able to intimidate people, sounds weird now that I read what I typed. I guess its an ego thing or macho image im not ready to give up yet.

Keep going dont look back

lets keep this thread going, I am about 2 months till sleeved, sometimes I ring the bell other times I dont. BUt we have wicked oral skills, our biggest problem is my wife is starting mentalpause so her libido is gone so it takes some serious fore play to get her running. I hope afr sleeve she will see the man she fell in love with and we can start banging like teenagers again,
right know my belly is too big to 69 but after sleeve we will try it again.
She also said she will decide if I gained in penis size using her gag reflex.
I will keep you all posted...

You are cute as button, way to go on the bathing suit great NSV

WOW way to go on your weight loss

Later in grade school I started to pack on the pounds. And I just kept growing, my first wife was a farm girl so it was meat and potatoes every night, along with some fresh baked cake or bars. i gained 60 lbs in 9 years. Then divorced and gained some more, changed jobs more weight, had knees replaced and topped the scales at 368 now its time for the sleeve.
