I guess I should add my name to this list!! I had my surgery on 2-22-10 and I started at 300 pounds. Today, 4-19-11, I am 151 pounds... That's 149 pounds lost!!! :o My initial goal was to get to 150 pounds, but now that I am here, I am thinking that I might as well go for 13 more pounds so I can say that I have a normal BMI.

How has loss of 100 pounds changed my life? Here are just a few off top of my head.....

  • I can go out in public and not be embarrassed.
  • I can wear bluejeans comfortably.
  • I can fit into booths at resteraunts and movie theaters without problems.
  • My legs don't rub together catching my pants on fire....:nervous
  • My nieces and nephews can sit on my lap, I never had one before.
  • I have more confidence in myself to get up in front of crowds now.
  • I can wear a seatbelt in the vehicle now (before it would not fit)
  • I don't suffer from severe depression anymore.
  • I have energy to exercise and do more outdoors things with my husband.
  • I can shop for clothes in my hometown instead of ordering everything from plus size catalogs.
  • The JOY I get if I pass someone I know who has not seen me in a long time and they don't recognize that it is me!!! :clap2:
  • My favorite...My husband tells everyong he got a new wife and did not even have to get a divorce.:kiss2:

See attached photo of how it looks.....

I just wanted to thank you for this list. I need to remember my goals and the gifts I will have when I've lost all my excess weight. I have lost 50 so doing well. Banded 2/7/2011. Going in for second fill tomorrow, Monday, 5/16/2011. It is already easier to do things with my children (5 and 6 yrs old), to get into booths, to have more energy, so I am excited about how great it will feel with the rest of my weight off. I love my band. Wish I had gotten it yrs ago, but wasn't ready then. I finally got it that I'm an addict and that I did need banding. I have hope now and realize I was never a failure, just an addict. :( I'm happy my kids aren't fat and that now their mom won't be either. Thanks for reminding me of all the 'goodies" I get from continuing to lose my weight. Gail in Ca. :)

P.S. : forgot to say that one of the biggest things for me is not sweating so much. Its gotten a little better, but know that losing the rest of my weight will really take care of that. I may even get cold! Ha I'm already less self conscious overall and when I don't sweat as much I will feel much better about everything. I want it all......a wonderful life! Thanks again.

Currently down 112 pounds!

It's hard though, I feel awesome about and yet still conflicted.

I started at 478!

I would like to get down to 220-250. So being at 366 now, I still have 146 - 116 to go. Really almost to the halfway point and it's been 1.5 years since I was banded.

I joined a gym and have been hitting the ellipitcal like a champ. But just really want to reach my goal. :)

WOW! CONGRATULATIONS! :)

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
