I have been fat my whole life and always hated scales, but today, if I could've hugged my scale I would have.

As of today, I have officially lost 100 pounds since being banded 5 months ago.

I know I still have a long ways to go, but finally hitting that 100 pound loss mark has made me so happy!!!!

I seriously love my band. It is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. It's changed my life!!!

Honestly, I have just done what my nutrionist advised. Nothing special.

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day, at least 60g of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat.

I don't eat white rice, bread, or Pasta. Only brown rice and whole grain breads and Pasta. I try not to eat after dinner, however being a night owl I end up hungry around 10pm most nights. If I do have a small snack then, it's never any carbs. I've found I simply can't have carbs after dinner and lose weight.

I use an app called "Lose It" to track both calories and nutrients- it's my bible and it holds me accountable.

That's it, nothing special really :)

As for carbs, I eat whole grain breads and Pasta. Baked potatoes, or homemade mashed made with skim milk. I know some people do better on low carb, but as long as I stay away from the "white" carbs, I do fine. I'm just careful to eat my Protein first and make the carbs secondary.

As for exercise, I do very little and what I do is mostly trying to increase my daily activity. I have Multiple Sclerosis, so "real" exercise like at the gym is next to impossible for me. I do try to walk as much as I can, though.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
