Down 100LBS 40LBS to go



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! My name is Tod Campbell and I had my surgury about 15 months ago. I have seen people on this site wondering if loosing a 100LBS is possible with the band. Well it is and I look forward to loosing my last 40 or so.:clap2:

Anyway, I just wanted to give some encouragment to all of you as I have expereinced simular issues, stalls in weight loss or no weight loss, and even weeks when it said I gained a few. Stay with it! The great thing about the band is it keeps you on track. If you have slow periods just rededicate yourself and 15 months or more will pass and you will start to look good. Believe it or not, it seems that people are just starting to notice I'm loosing weight. Can you believe it took 100lBS.

I'm recharged and focussed more than ever. I know I can loose the last 40lbs and so will you. icon7.gif

Congrats. You should be so proud of yourself. I often wonder if 100# is possible, but after reading some of the posts here...it is quite possible.

You should be so proud because I am and I do not even know you. Way to go-you give others strength. Stay well.

Wow! Thanks for your post. You give me hope that perhaps one day I might be a normal weight.

I've never been a normal weight for my age.

You've really given me hope!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!:thankyou:

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
