Hiyas MLJ, welcome to LBT! Congrats on your excellent weight loss and kicking the Diabetes and Reflux out of your life!

As for the hump.. If it were me, I'd go back to square one of the journey and start fresh. Take a serious look at what you're eating now by journaling your food intake, paying attention to calories and Proteins. If you're not exercising, start. If you already do exercise, try changing your routine. Sometimes our bodies become so accustom to the same old thing, that it needs to be shaken up a bit. Add in some extra cardio, swim, ride a bike. It's summertime and you've got to be feeling more like living now!

Also, if you aren't drinking Water now's a good time to start. Check out this article, I think you'll find it very helpful. Pay close attention to how they determine how much water you should be drinking. http://www.inch-aweigh.com/water.html

Nice to meet ya. I look forward to celebrating your goal weight when you hit it. Won't be long now will it? :)

I'm at 99lb!!!!! gone...gone for good. Maybe by Monday I will be a new member of the 100 lbs gone. Lots of walking this weekend planned. We are going to Boston for the Weekend...Red Sox game, Duck boats, a nite out dancing.....Perhaps that will jog a good weight loss. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend all!!

All of you are so inspiring to those of us just starting the lapband journey. I was banded Feb. 28 and had my second fill Friday, May 26. I've lost 32 pounds to date. I want to learn how to make a page like you all do. Where do I go to learn how to make a website with my name, loss chart, etc.? Is it easy to do?

Everyone is doing so great how exciting and encouraging for all of us!!

I'm not sure what I'm at now, but I think I'm about 70 down. I'd like 40 more and then see what happens. It sure is exciting!

It is so inspiring to read these posts from those of you that have lost close to or over 100 pounds. I am only just beginning my journey, but someday, I too will come to this thread and say I lost over 100.

You have done a wonderful job!! don't concentrate in the 50 lbs you have left be proud of what you have aready accomplised.

I know it sounds easier said than done but you will reach your goal. Are you exercising, drinking Water, resting, and following the rules of the Lap Band diet?

bread, white sugar, Pasta, potatoes and rice are a No No according to my Dr (Felix Spiegel) and it worked for 1 year. When I started to "try" the foods that my friends and other patients talked about (while I was in the Drs office) I began to stop losing and feel bad. I have been boucing back and forth for 2 months at the same weight and its all me.!!

I AM NOT DOING WHAT I KNOW WILL WORK.!!!

Try a different exercise routine (if you are exercising) and walk as much as possible and remember *what got you to the 100lb loss it still works today* take a day at a time and watch those lbs melt away.

      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!!
