Adding my name to the 100 lb club. Started at 298, now at 198!

Whoot!

I have 38 lbs to goal. Dr and I have setting a goal time frame for Jan 2007. A bit of a stretch, but do-able!

I think it would be interesting to add to the weight loss numbers, the day of their surgery so we could see those statistics as well. Awesome job everyone!!! :clap2:

Also...what does it mean for a post to be a sticky?

I'm still 8 lbs away. :confused:

Sticky means that the thread stays at the top of the page, even if another thread is made or modified after it. Normally threads appear in order of creation/posting. You'll notice at the top of several forums there are threads that always stay at the top, and have "Sticky" next to them. They're "stuck" at the top of the list. :)

Oh this IS a good idea, Being banded has given me a life after 40 years of yo-yo dieting. I have lost 136 pounds since 2nd August 2005, am only 6 pounds off my target and am now just inside the normal BMI range for my height. Yesterday I was able to sign up for free gym excercise under the 'presciption for excersise' NHS scheme that we have here. Eventually I will have knee replacements, when I have built up muscles in my legs after years of being inactive. I owe all of this to Dr Bende over in Budapest Hungary, a marvellous man, who gave me this advice,"remember that the band is only a tool and not a cure".

I thought this would be a great thread to post my question on.

How did you get through the tough beginning? The emotional and coping part of this journey.

I am having a hard time right now coping with not being able to eat all of my comfort foods. I know now i eat so much because i'm upset or not in a good mood.

I was so excited losing 22 pounds in 3 weeks. Now i'm moving slowly moving on to regular foods and i'm having a harder time staying away from the bad foods.

So what keeps you going and when does it get better.

Its going to get tougher as you go on, the beginning is easier than the end. Focus on the 22lbs you lost and how many more you want to lose. Eat only what your Dr recommended, stick close to the rules and walk everyday at least 30 minutes everyday. If you can walk more do so.!! Dont touch "White" sugar,rice, Pasta, potatoes and bread only the "Brown" versions (if you just have to) and the weight will drop off. Its not that hard the low carb way will get you there quick. Remember walk as much as possible. I walked so much at work I became the talk of the office, (I really didn't care). I had surgery Feb 2005 and in Dec of 2005 I was 100lbs down . The last 23 or so have been tougher because you get a little big-headed (once you start to look so cute) Smile. You can and will do it dont give up..

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
