100 lb club in less than 4 months



Recommended Posts

I didnt realize there was a forum to the 100lb losers. This is my post from the stories forum.

Hello all, just past my 4 month anniversary since the surgery and am down 112lbs. I am only 22 pounds away from my initial goal. I have since decided to change that goal another 20 to 30 lbs since I am a lot further along than I thought I would be. At my last visit Dr. Myers said my weightloss has been remarkable. That felt good. I have started to get into a pattern of weightloss for a week or so, then level off for a week or so then weightloss again. During my level off periods is when I am fitting into different sizes. I wore a xxl dress shirt yesterday. In July I was wearing 5xl shirts. I no longer have to shop at the big and tall. My selection of clothes now have tripled. And lets not even get to all the energy I have. I mean tons, sometimes I feel restless and just need to burn energy. It is an amazing feeling and a good problem to have. The best thing is I am no longer using a cpap and taking meds any more. My family doctor took me off of them a few weeks ago. I have been on some of them since 1994!

Could you share How many calories you averaged daily and you activity level? Im really trying to get the calories figured out!

I just gotta pipe in here and say..... I didn't "PLAN" on losing 100 pounds in 4 months........ it was not a goal....... I just wanted to follow the "plan" and....... it worked. I don't think I will make "goal" by the 9th of Feb. But I'm not gonna beat myself up over that either.

I think that almost 200 pounds by 1 year....... was a bit unrealistic........ my doc says it can be done..... and I was REALLLY ahead of the game. but now. .. my last visit.... I was right on target.... but its not as easy now... I've lost 164.. and am proud of that!!

Hey chancie, How many calories are you getting daily?

I am six weeks out on Tuesday. I really have no goals in number weight loss but 100 pounds in 4 months would be awesome. Right now I am so excited that I can move without pain. I actually jogged to my mailbox and back the other day. My mailbox is about 200 feet from my house. I felt invincable. I will feel unconquerable in another 33 pounds!! Who knows how I will feel at goal weight!! Excited to get there too!!

I have lost only 100 since my surgery two Octobers ago!!! I need to lose at least fifty more! This is either becoming a weight gain again or a bad stall! :0((((((( I don't want to get fat again!!! Gosh it's so easy to gain weight back and I went through all this to do better, so any ideas to boost the weightless back? Thanks

To the folks who lost 100 pounds in a very short time. How in the heck did you do it???!! Did you eat like zero carbs? Did that play a role? Did you exercise like fiends?

Please share what you think you did that gave you results so different from most people on this forum !!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
