100 Pounds Gone Forever!

Wow! I can honestly say that I am amazed. I know this surgery is supposed to work, but in the back of my mind, I thought I would fail somehow. My weight loss attempts in the past have always worked for a time and then the weight would creep back. I cannot believe that I have lost 100 pounds since last June! I have seen some people at my son's baseball games that I haven't seen in the last year and they can't believe my transformation. It's nice to hear compliments from the moms, but it's also nice to hear some from the dads! LOL Men don't usually discuss those kinds of things, but I have heard some very nice words from some dads that we have been friends with for years and usually only see during baseball season. I have so much more energy, my knees feel better, I have gone off of 4 meds at this point and am looking to get rid of 1 or 2 more in the next 3 months and I think my sleep apnea is gone. This is the best decision I have ever made for myself (besides marrying my best friend and having our son). This one is all for me though. ;) Please let me know how the rest of you are doing. I had my surgery in September, 2014.

  • 100 pounds in 8 months......great job! I know you have to feel healthier just by the fact that you are off some medications. And having people compliment you on your success is such a great motivator

Congratulations!!! What a wonderful achievement!!! Multiple benefits :)

I'm 6 months out and stuck at about 60 lbs. lost for a few weeks now. I keep working "my program" and know the scale will move eventually; the number of inches lost continue to increase because I can tell how my clothes are fitting. Even the new clothes have been getting looser more quickly. Love that feeling!!
