Congrats to all who have lost 100 (or more) pounds...I haven't been banded yet, but will look forward to getting my membership in 9 - 12 months.

You are all so inspirational! Who says people can't lose significant amounts of weight with the band! Not y'all! :embaressed_smile:

WOW & Congratulations!!! :crying: What an AMAZING accomplishment. I cannot wait to be able to post that I have reached that same goal. At what weight did you start? What kinds of things did you do to get the weight off? Sharing ideas will help us newbies stay focused and on track to achieve the same goal.

Thanks!

My starting weight was 350. All I've done is follow the bandster rules. I don't drink when I eat or for 1.5-2 hours after. I take small bites, chew well, etc. I eat 3 meals per day and 1 snack, approximately 1000-1200 calories, with 70-80+ grams of Protein a day. My doctor is very aggressive with his fills, but I prefer to keep my fill level on the loose side so I can still eat a normal meal. I don't believe in keeping myself so restricted that I can only have liquids or eat just a few bites at a time. I also don't drink calories. Generally speaking, I only drink Water, with a minimum of 64 ozs a day. I exercise 30 minutes per day, most days. I just started exercising regularly in July and I wish I'd started sooner. I also try to avoid slider foods and I track calories and protein everyday. I allow myself occasional indulgences so when I want something, I just have a little and that has helped me avoid binges.

I finally reached 100lb about a week ago. For some reason, 100lb doesn't seem like as much as you'd think. Probably because I'm tall. Anyway, I'm happy. I think getting a TT would help though haha.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
