THanks.. I'm crazy with the scale.. I'm on it every morning.. I know I shouldn't but it keeps my mind in check.. I'm mindful of resting/ not doing too much etc.. But I'm down 13 lbs in just 9 days post- which is amazing.. but even seeing it barely go up.. makes me wanna stick to liquids.. and I know thats not good

Thanks.. my mind started a full blown panic attack..

I know it's 1.5 lbs and thats not tragic- but thats in a day.. I literally had some smashed potatoes- no more than a cup.. and a lil lowfat cottage cheese.. and this morning I'm up 1.5 lbs... I can not go back up.. Have others experienced this??

I love seeing the weight trackers- I love seeing peoples pics also.. but with dates and weight is even more helpful as far as an encouragement tool! Thanks

Yes I know- I'm happy to lose anything! haha.. just curious as to the average.. Whats considered a "heavier person" .. I was 253 at the start.. I just am gonig to be beside myself to see the scale start with a 1 - and was curious the average

Joining in - had 2 weeks prior liquids - lost 7 lbs - banded Fri Oct 12th and have lost another 8lbs in under a week.. so a total of 15 - still have moment of "OUCH" in my stomach area - guessing its gas passing thru.. boooo to that.. I can't wait to hit 50 lbs

from what I've seen lots of people hit it around 6 months- is that accurate!

Is it going to last forever??

ok- thanks- not unbearable- just awfully uncomfy from time to time- only for a sec or two - I did not have any hernia repair?? not that I know of.. is that horrible to say -

So in 4 weeks you lost 43 lbs Floridays?? Or in 6 weeks- did you include your mushy stage in that?? Either way- thats an amazing amount of weight.. and if that pic is your "before" thats on the right... you weren't that big! Which makes it even more of an amazing compliment. SInce pre and post.. I"m down 15lbs in 3 weeks.. 7lbs for the pre diet- and 8 lbs in the days since surg (banded oct 12)

Is this gas? Does it go away.. I have been having waves of pain- where it feels like there must be gas and then it releases.. but I"m not burping or otherwise.. it's like it clenches and then passes.. Please tell me this is just part of healing.

I was two weeks pre also.. except one night when I lost it and just had to have some food! But now that I'm banded I will follow it to a T THanks

I was just banded on Oct 12 - and had a rough first 2 days- probably TMI..but I had bouts of naseau and gagging.. although I had nothing to come up. Needless to say it was quite painful!! But I am now sipping my liquids, drinking my jello, excited about pudding haha.. Curious as to what everyone lost in their first month- if you followed the liquids..
