35 Days Post-op

Is not all that great.....pardon me? That's awesome!!! Keep it going.

R U kidding me? 27lbs is fabulous. Don't sell yourself or the work you are putting into losing the weight short. Every ounce is a victory, so shout it to the world. I HAVE LOST 27LBS! Keep it up - we fellow bandsters are very proud of you.

Woo hoo . . .you go! Great job! Keep it up and good for you!!

You are doing great....my problem use to be that I would lose the weight but it would come back just as fast as I lost it. With the band it is staying off.

"not that much"???? are you kidding?? it is WONDERFUL!!! keep up the good work!!!!

That's great, good job!!

Everyone seems to lose weight at a different pace. I think I lost about 20 pounds the first Month or so then dropped back to a pound pound and half a week or less after that. What they don't tell you (at least in my case didn't tell me) is that the pound a week or so is an average and not neccesarily linear. That means one month 2 pounds next month 10, next month 0 next month 6. I finally just stopped weighing myself because it was driving me crazy. Besides they weight me at my baratric clinic and PCP anyway. I think belt size may be a better metric. It is for me anyway. I'm at about the 6 month point and I've lost about 40 pounds and 6 inches around my waist. The weight is good, but comfortably getting into pants and shirts I haven't worn in 5 or 6 years is priceless.

Thank you all for the encouragement! I did expect to loose more weight week by week since i lost 15lbs or so right after surgery - then the weight loss slowed down dramatically!

Yes Kayakguy, I did notice the non-liniar weight loss average...just past week i lost another 6lbs when the weeks before that it was just 1 or 2 lbs. I feel better to know that this is normal/expected.
