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!

Bill.....

I forgot to say "Thank You"............ Successful.........I hope I am Successful........ I feel I still have a long way to go before I know if I am or not.

I feel it right now..... but........... you never know what will happen. but I plan on being "Successful"!!!

Thanks for even thinking I am!! hehehe

Thanks Chancie, i'm actually off to a pretty good start . . 9 days out and 20 lbs gone already. . .i know lots of the loss is water weight, but thank god for that . . . good motivations. . .

Hey Bill,

Keep striving for YOUR goal!! This board serves as a reference and as motivation to all of us, if YOUR plan is 100 in 4 months....godspeed to you!! I hope to be there in 4-5 months myself? Sleeved on Dec.7th , down 50 lbs from my pre-op weight of 356....and can't wait to be at BBell's point with the clothes. Congrats to all of you who fight this battle everyday!!

How did you guys do it? I still have 60lbs to go. I have lost 66 in 3 months but would have LOVED to have lost the 100lbs by now. What do you guys do? Eat? Excersise? Tell me please ...

Congrats to all :-D

I haven't done it yet, but am working towards it. I am walking, all I can do right now at 2 weeks post op, but I plan on getting to the gym for more strenuous activity as I get released to do so.

A lot of us looking at the 100 pounds in 4 months are either serious heavy weights(no offense anyone, I myself am in that group) or are guy heavyweights who lose a lot faster than women.

Don't get discouraged, even if I don't make the 100 in 4 months, I am not going to beat myself up over it. I will be happy with what I do lose.

Bill

Hi all, wow, have you all ever done well. . . keep up the good work. . WingRider, you will get to your 100 lb goal . . you seem very determined to do that. . . keep up the excellent work. . . this thing isn't easy but together we'll get there! I fit right in there with the heavyweights and lose alot faster then some one who is "lighter" . . . I'm not weighing in often, only each time i go to the doctor . . . so my next ticker move won't be until February 15th. . . i'm not going to use my scale, cause then i'll become a prisoner to the scale and be disappointed just like before the sleeve. . . good luck all! We can do this!!!!

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!!

are you by-passed or sleeved?

its wonderfull!

moka, most of the people on here have been sleeved. some started out with a band and have been revised to a sleeve. it is amazing that these ladies and gents have lost over 100# in 4 to 6 months. what an awesome thought to be down 100#. i have 30 more # to go. don't think i will make it by the 4 month mark but i want beat myself up either. good luck mona and welcome to the sleevers club.

I'm sleeved!! and LOVEEEEEEEE it!!

me too, sleeved, don't have any regrets except when i eat too fast or don't chew well and have the pain from hell along with the slimes. . . then i really regret it. . .or should i say, regret not doing the chewing thing right. . . would i do it again, yup sure would. . .

While 100lbs in 4 months might be a little aggressive unless either male or sssob, what is the norms for say 4 months. Is ten pounds a month normal? Is twenty? I am 300 lbs and have my surgery coming up in 4 weeks. I sit here day (or night) dreaming about how I am going to look in a few months. Can anyone shed some light on how much is average. And I do understand that everyone is different.

Oh and btw,,,,,,,WAY TO FREAKIN GO YOU GUYS~~~~~

Phatcurves....

I really don't know what the "average" is. but I think the more you have to lose.. the "quicker" it is in the beginning to lose.

I NEVER dreamed I would lose 100 pounds so fast. I was actually scared that I would be one of those that the sleeve wouldn't "work" for... but follow your doctors rules, drink PLENTY of Water... exercise... and it will work!!

I am bad about the exercise.... I havn't found anything that I REALLY like... or will stick to... and if I had just made myself... I probably would have made "goal" in a year..... but I also had ALOT of weight to lose.. my highest was 373 pounds.... am now 180!!! And that was at a year. am 13 months out.. and feel like a whole new person!

I dreamed too.. what will I look like.. what size clothes will I be in? I am now in a size 12 JEANS!!! I havn't been that in 20-30 years!! I'm 51- and LOVIN' it!!!

Congrats on your date. and if you need any advice or a "pep" talk... message me... it CAN be done!!!
