Lost Over 100 Lbs!!!



Recommended Posts

Surgery 6/06, Dr. Spiegel in Houston. Very satisfied with results with minimal complications. I have had 2 fills and 1 unfill with the 9.75 band. Currently seems to be a little too lose but it allows me to eat more nutritionally and therefore is easier to maintain/build muscle while staying hydrated. It does require some will power but I always have the option of getting it tightened if I run into problems. This is a dream come true!

That is wonderful to hear about about! I am still trying to lose pre-op weight, I did a strict two week liquid liver shrinking diet but the 20$ scale I bought went haywire so now I am waiting for a much better WW scale from Amazon. But I am going back on the pre-op, without the added greens salad and extra oz's of chicken, just the strict pre-op diet for me from now on. My brother wants me to exercise at the Gym with him but I know If I sign up I will not go anyway, so best to workout with DVD's in the early morning.

Can you share your eating and exercise routine?

Regards.

Wow! Congrats to you!

My question: Did you lose steady or bounce around like I have done?

I was banded last April. 08 So far lost 66 lbs. My Dr. is pleased. Was a 18 now a 8/10. I have 20 more to lose till my goal. Trying to work out most days.

Please describe what you eat in a normal day.

Seems like I only eat a handful a day, but not losing.

Thanks!

      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.
