Down 106 lbs



Recommended Posts

HI,

My lap band surgery was Jan. 2005. By the end of 2006, I had gone from 256 lbs. to 150. I have had some of my own trials and tribulations but have seem to have finally come up with a diet that allows me to feel good and not feel as though I am missing out on anything. Personally I am trying to get to about 140 purely for vanity. I'm into a size 6 which I still can't believe. Its the best when clothing fits season to season. I have spoken at different classes to help others get on track and stay motivated. If I can help, I would love to help.

Pat, Great work on your beginning! You must be following the diet very well. If you end up trying something that doesnt agree with you at first look at the situation you were in while eating. Stress at work, home, kids, etc. seem to make a difference. People tend to eat faster under stress. Congratulations on starting the healthy phase of your life.

I'm interested in your philosophy. From what you said I thought maybe you are one of those who prefers to eat a little more and maybe have your band a little loose. Is that the case? I am new at this but so far I feel that if I am losing weight I will wait on the fills. No use being tight and risking having problems when I can lose weight a little slower and feel more satisfied with the amount I eat.

I love to hear success stories. I wish I had one to share about myself...but I still have hope and know one day I will succeed.

My surgery date was November 2005 and my total loss is 35 lbs. I would love to hear your plan and how you've been so successful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
