Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

Great, I hope to get there too, right now I've lost 52 lbs. How long does it take to loose 100 lbs? I had my surgery on 12/3/08.

116 for me

Hi Bonnie. I noticed that you said that you had too many fills and unfills to keep up with. I am a little anxious with my band. I originally received a 1.2cc fill and had virtually no restriction. I then recieved a 2.0 cc fill and after 4 days, could barely swallow Water. I then received a .6cc unfill (back to 1.4 cc) and now I can eat anything again. Needless to say, my weight fluctuates with every change.... I am at a loss as to what to do next. I follow the rules and exercise, should it really be like this?

Susan, Jess, & Suzzie - congratulations - doesn't it feel wonderful? Keep up the good work.

Lexi - fills are very individualized, some have to have fills and unfills many times and others don't need a fill at all. I myself have been lucky and have only had 2 fills. Just be patient for once you find your sweet spot it will all be worth it. Good luck.

As of my doctor's visit on Wednesday, I've lost 282 pounds in my 3 years since getting the band that saved my life! Heck, 18 more pounds and I'm gonna proudly start a thread for people that have lost over 200 pounds! Congratulations to everyone!!!!! The lap band is one of the greatest inventions ever as us "biggest losers" all know.

LilMissBand-Aid...Thank you so much. 19 pounds to hit 100...you'll do that in no time at all. When I first started researching the band, this was the thread that made me know I could do it. I just hope that I can encourage anyone that has as much weight as I did to lose that it can be done. Good luck to you and you'll be a certified member of this fabulous club before you know it.

I am so darn close to hitting 100lbs but these last 3 pounds just won't budge. I have yo-yo'd up 2-3bls down 2-3lbs up 2-3lbs and down 2-3lbs. I want off this roller coaster ride and just get rid of this last 3lbs so that I can say I have lost 100lbs. in 6 months. Which has been my only goal since starting this journey. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased with my progress but 100lbs is a pivotal point for me and I want to hit dang it!

I go for a fill tomorrow and I am hoping it will be the preverbial sweet spot that I long for. The last 2 weeks have been hunger hell. Can't figure it out but I have been so dang hungry all day long. Nothing is filling me up and I have had to diet through it. So keep your fingers crossed everyone...I want my sweet spot.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Cindy

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
