Hello all,

Just had to pop in and share the news that as of yesterday, I have lost 100 lbs!! I was banded 12_17_12...I still can't believe it!! I'm so proud of everyone, keep up the good work!!

Congratulations!

100 lbs in that amt of time is really something... I didn't realize that would be possible... My Dr. says 1-2 lbs a week is normal... was that 100 lbs from the date of surgery or includes your pre-op diet?

I am just floored when I see those kind of numbers...makes me think I am doing something wrong..

Wow! Congratulations on all the good decisions and hard work to make this dream become a reality. I keep thinking about the weight like two big suitcases I'm going to be putting down -- it will be wonderful not to have to carry them around any more.

Hi!! :-)

I lost 20 lbs during the pre op diet, which in my case was 2 weeks, so basically 100 lbs since December 1st ish of last year. To be honest with you, I really don't know how it happened so fast...I exercised but nothing too crazy..I followed my instructions to the letter..and my clinic is very restrictive food wise, because basically no carbs are allowed except for steel cut oats and bran here and there....when I see the numbers though, I still don't believe it....my mind and my body are still very detached sometimes...I had dreamed for about a decade to lose 100 lbs, but I had no idea it would or could happen in less than a year...I know everybodys body is different..please don't be discouraged...I thought long and hard about whether to post this or not....and the only reason I did was to try to give people hope....because we are fighting the same battle, and I got alot of support from this forum, and wanted to pay it forward..don't give up...everything you dream is possible...you will reach your goal I promise!! :-)

That is awesome! Are you near your goal now?

It's because 100 was my total goal...but I think I want to loose 50 more... :-)

We were banded the same day! Congrats!
