<p>Aloha All</p> <p>Thought I would never get to post this, but here I am 100 Lbs. post op. Was banded in July 2007, and what a difference 100 Lbs. can make. I can ride on airplanes without using my seat belt extender, even on the small planes. Can get a good nights sleep, without feeling like I'm going to choke to death. And did I mention how much better the sex is? Christmas Day was the best, decided it was time to get out the "Green Hornet" (my bike) and clean it up and see if I could still ride. Use to ride a lot 10 years ago (6000 miles a year) well after checking everything over it got on and rode around the hood and my DSW said that it would be cool if we could ride together, so got one of the old bike's out cleaned it up and off we went on a 5 five very easy all flat ground ride. It felt so good to be back on the "Green Hornet" and my wife had a great time also. Well I know I've gone on too long, just very excited about my new life, did I mention how much better the sex is? LOL Well Aloha and take care and good luck</p> <p>BWD</p> <p>PS I love my band, and did I mention how good the sex is?<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /></p>

Wow! Congratulations Dave. I was banded end of July and hope to hit 100 pounds by end of January.

I can appreciate how good it must feel to have 100 pounds off because 90 pounds off feels pretty good too.

Congratulations.

Sue

Congrats Dave! I know that fresh Hawaiian air really helps too. Been to Kauai 3 years in a row and trust me, I know if I were 100lbs lighter when I was there I would have been a maniac!!!!

Aloha

Up every morning @ 4:30am in the gym by 5:00am. 45 min. on the Bike and then the weights. My DSW and I do this 5-6 days a week, we both have the band and that really helps. We really watch what we eat. Thats about it, good luck and best wishes.

Aloha

BWD

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
