Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

Hi July5forme! Think HEALTH, try to tell yourself that you deserve to be healthy in years to come. If you focus only on your looks you might fall by the wayside. I read a really good book that said that health is the only successful motivator and that it is helpful to imagine being able to play and enjoy grandchildren, enjoy having a full life, with whatever that means for you. I have lent the book to someone and have forgotten the name of the lady author. I will post the details as soon as I get it back because it is really good and was a great help for me. It is called Say Goodbye to overeating and is written by an American phsycologist, which would normally scare me off. I bought it on Amazon.< /p>

NINETY NINE POUNDS NIGEL!!!!! YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratualtions!

I just got my letter to take to my "huisarts"....local doctor. I make an appointment for him to do the inital glucose tests, and assessment of family risk, etc. That goes to a surgeon, who does the surgical assessment...from there, who knows?? But, I have taken the first step, and cannot wait to join the 100 pounds lost club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this forum! It is so inspirational to hear how successful you all have been. I am just starting the process. I was going to have RNY because I had so many - 17 coworkers have it and very little complications. Then one of our coworkers had the RNY in Jan. 2006 and intubated and in ICU by the end of the week. She died in early July 2006 never having left the ICU. I have three little girls and I just can't risk it. I chose the Lap Band based on your successes and the fact that only one person has died so far from the Band in the US and that was because it was placed wrong. Keep up the great work. I am quietly reading and absorbing your wisdom and strength so that I can do this too. Thank you, Meg.

NIGEL-

I'm not very math oriented....but I think there are 2.2 pounds in a kg...so that would be approximately 99-100! YAY for you!....welcome to the club!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
