Well when tommorrow hits, it will be one year since my Lapband Sugery.

Honestly I'm thrilled with the results, but I'm been real bummed out for the last 6 months.

I've really been hovering around the 100 pound mark.

I'm really struggling to figure out how to break 100 pounds and lose again. I'm been adjusted out the whazoo.

So I guess I'm just impressed that it has been a year but know I still have a lot of work to do, and just trying to figure out how to see more results.

100 lbs in a year is fantastic! I understand how frustrating a long plateau is, but you're a 10 year old smaller than you were a year ago!

First, GREAT JOB! Woo Hoo! This is a very long road sometimes and you are doing great making your way.

I think sometimes we tend to eat the same stuff over and over. Try to change it up a bit. Try drinking a few extra Protein shakes. Drink extra Water for a couple days. If you eat salad every day for lunch switch to chili for a couple days. Sometimes just mixing up the diet breaks a plateau.

100 pounds is amazing. Pat yourself on the back for your accomplishment and keep marching ahead. Could you add a little more activity or maybe more Protein into the diet???

100 pounds is an amazing loss! Congratulations!

Are you exercising? If not, now is the time to start. It will jumpstart your loss.

If you are, try changing your routine a bit.

One of the women who works at my doctors office weighed nearly 600 pounds before she was banded. She said that she has lost 300 pounds in 2 1/2 years. She told me that it is a slow process when you have a lot to lose. Your body has done well so far. I bet if you got a really good exercise program that you stick with and speak to a nutritionist you can get on track to lose another 100 in a year.

Congrats!!! 100 pounds in a year is awesome...its a lot easier to loose weight when you have a few hundred to loose as i found out the more you loose the tougher it is.......someone who has to loose 100 pounds can loose 20 pounds quicker and easier than someone who has to loose 20 pounds..... your doing great keep up good work :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
