Well done fgallant!! You're over halfway there and I'll bet you're feeling 100% better already! Keep up the good work and you will reach your goal.

As of the past week or two, I'm now 100# below my heaviest weight, 7 months ago, when I started my 2-month pre-op diet. This is the lightest I've been in probably 7-8 years. Another 30-40 and I'll be happy.

My pant size has dropped from a tight 46 to a comfortable 40, and my shirts from 3-4x to 2x or less. I actually fit into my partner's shirts, for the first time ever. Spent the last weekend buying some better-fitting clothing, including a new belt about a foot smaller than the last. It's a little snugger than I should like, but targetting a New Year's Eve party, it should be somewhat better by then.

I think I'll be having surgery to clean up the mess, which should help even further. But that's not for some time yet.

After bouncing between 99lbs and 100lbs lost for a week I think I can finally say I'm in the 100lbs lost club at -104lbs and steadily losing, not bouncing. :thumbup:

I'm hoping in the next week to two weeks to hit three big goals; Tied for the lightest I've ever been in my adult life (at 201lbs), surpassing that and being the lightest I've ever been in my adult life (at 200lbs) and somewhere I've never been in my adult life, ONEderland. Here's hoping. :lol:

Well, I feel like it has taken me forever to get here, when in reality it's really only been a year and a half! It was a lot easier in the beginning because the weight came off faster. Now that I'm closer to goal, I'm less motivated to lose it because I'm so comfortable in my skin (for a change), and because the weight loss is slower.

BUT ... I woke up this morning to a happy surprise on the scale! I'm now down 102 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!

I have 11 more to my real goal and 21 to my dream goal. I should probably take and post some pics!

Thanks for the inspiration, Ladies and Gentlemen. I feel honored to post in this thread amongst you hard-working and awe-inspiring folks. I've wanted to join this club for as long as I can remember and it feels GREAT to be here!

HUGS AND KISSES AND Protein Shakes ALL AROUND! CHEERS!

I'm at -123 lbs now and I lost 1 lb last week after months of a plateau where I kept maintaining. Now that I look back, on the stress I was under, and some sloppy but not terrible eating, I am thankful to be starting the new year off.

I wrote out 2 full weeks of food plans of what fruit, veg, meat and Snacks I would allow myself and what exercise I planned to commit to each day. Its on the refrigerator and I am checking off as I do it. I sometimes switch something different out from what I planned but its been pretty helpful to eat what I planned to eat versus eat what is available or what my fancy strikes me...too easy to find "easy" food to eat instead of solid Protein, veg, fruit that are better. So wish me luck, and I will do the same for you that we all buckle down and keep going on our lapband journey.

Welcome back Rockin Robyn -- never too late to do the right thing. Work that tool!

Congratulations Nancy. I was on a plateau for a few months at the 2nd half of last year but I'm on a losing pace again now with 2.9 lbs in the first 3 weeks of 2010 but that has been with very dedicated food tracking and exercise. I set myself a goal of 1 lb per week average to get the last 52 lbs off this year before going for the Tummy Tuck next year as my 3rd year bandiversary present!

Keep up the good work to all.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
