Recommended Posts

Almost 15 months ago' date=' I had Lap Band surgery.

Today I am thrilled to announce I have now officially lost 200 pounds since then.

If I wasn't currently in the hospital I'd post pics. I will take some later when I'm home and better.

I just had to share! :)[/quote']

Very very happy for you!!!! I take it you are also feeling better. Keep up the great work

Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't do anything special. I just track all my calories to be sure I stay within my daily allowance and never eat more than a cup of food per meal. I've done both since the day I got home from the hospital after my band surgery and it's definitely paid off.

I will post pics as soon as I get rid of the rest of the Water weight. 3 1/2 days of IV fluids and malfunctioning kidneys resulted in 16 pounds of Water weight! I was so swollen my hands were twice their normal size and the skin was so tight it hurt. I couldn't even put on socks because my ankles were so swollen.

I've lost 9 pounds of the water since Wednesday so 7 more to go. Ugh! LOL!

Way to go! You must feel amazing, like a new person. I imagine the energy you've picked up along the way has been a huge bonus as well. Speedy recovery, hope you're home soon. You're a real inspiration. I'm not a food logger, I really struggle with that part of the whole thing. You've proven that it works so I'm going to make an honest attempt to get my sh*t together, get organized and start logging. Thanks for your post(s)!

      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!!

      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
