*sigh* I gained 2 lbs this week. Big surprise I am late logging in. It was nice to have a big loss last week, but disappointing that I can so quickly jump back into bad habits, thinking I can "get away with it". Oh well, it's a process (long process) and we're making baby steps, right? I'm 64 lbs less than when I went to that first lap band info meeting, so that's something I have to keep reminding myself.

JayTee! You are a big part of what keeps me on track! We're almost neck-and-neck throughout (although you're always just a bit ahead). :biggrin: You're highest was 328, mine was 327. We both lost about 30 lbs before surgery and are currently just two pounds apart. A challenge helps give us a short-term goal to work toward, because too often the big goal gets blurry throughout the ups and downs. Please don't be discouraged, but congratulate yourself that you've done this great so far! Remember that others may be seeing your progress as encouragement to keep pushing!

Dang! It was a good feeling to finally update my "ticker" after 3 weeks of no movement! I am happy to say I'm down to 261 lbs! I have to say it's not because I am feeling an restriction ... just that I've been getting back to basics and not going out to eat and drinking wine in excess. These last few weeks of "celebrating" ... end-of-the-school-year parties, grad parties, etc. have really slowed down the weight loss. I go back for another fill on Monday, and I keep hoping that "this time" I will actually feel some restriction! Good luck everyone!

Awesome! Congrats Lingling! You go girl! Keep it up "team"!

Ughhhh! I'm standing steady at 267lbs. I now have 5.5cc's but still don't feel the restriction, except for one time when I ate SUPER fast and almost lost it. Just "keep on swimming", I guess! :thumbdown: Kaner

Thanks for the encouragement and positive feedback. I didn't realize how much I needed it. So for all of you who are feeling especially discouraged, "just keep on swimming" (Find Nemo) and stay focused on the goal ... healthy living! I was down & up this week and finally ended up back at *sigh* 267lbs. So no loss for me this week, but at least there was no gain ... right? Just keep hoppin' my fellow bunnies! Kaner

270lbs for me today. It's not as much as I wanted to see, but it's still on track. :thumbup: Amy

272 lbs for me today. I went back to liquids for a few days to restart the weight loss. A few pounds is good to see again!

275lbs for me today. Rats! Kaner

Happy Friday everyone! My weight today is 275lbs. I had my very first fill yesterday and am excited to see what kind of change it makes in battling the hunger! I'm back to liquids for a couple of days, because of the fill. Wish me luck!

Sounds great! My height is 5'4" and my goal weight is 150 lbs. Which according to my ticker is a BMI goal of 25.7. I struggle with knowing if that is realistic, but there you have it. :smile2: Kaner

Hi. I was hoping to have hit the 50lb mark by today, but I'm one pound short! So ... today I am 278 lbs. Have a good weekend everyone! Kaner

LingLing! You're the best! I love this Friday weigh-in! I even like the competition piece that you've added ... it provides a bit more motivation/incentive to stay on target. Sweet! Congrats everyone for making it this far!

I used CIB too but added an extra scoop of Protein powder (I changed it up between a whey protein powder and a soy protein powder.) That definitely gave me the protein boost I needed.

Happy Friday. My weight today is 282lbs. Thanks! Kaner

OOOOH! Count me in, please! My highest (Nov. 2008) was 327. My weight on April 1st (surgery date) was 295. I did not check my weight on April 4th. My weight on April 10th was 285. Thanks for doing this! I don't understand how to create spreadsheets, so I totally appreciate it! Kaner

I was on liquids both 2 weeks pre-op and 2 weeks post-op ... tomorrow's my last liquid day! (It's actually been MUCH easier than I expected.) Now I move on to two weeks of pureed, then two weeks of a soft diet, then onto maintenance. I go see my doc for my two week follow-up on Thursday, but I won't get a fill until 6 weeks post-op either. Isn't it fascinating how different every surgeon approaches this? I'm very sorry to hear of the bomb being dropped at the end of your pre-op info. session. Yikes! Very poorly handled! I will pray that all moves ahead smoothly for you and your surgery. Go get 'em Tiger! :scared2: Kaner

Hi All! I was banded on April 1st and spent one night in the hospital and another night at a friend's house, and I have to say I'm feeling pretty darn good! I'm a little sore, but in general, I'm pretty comfortable and have been sleeping great. It was wonderful to have a shower earlier today! I've been taking my Lortab every four hours faithfully, so I imagine that has helped quite a bit, but I am already pretty mobile. I had a great staff at the hospital! So far so good ... bring on the rest of the new me! :scared2: Kaner :thumbup:

Hey Salsa, you mentioned something about a compression garment in one of your posts. I have one friend who used them her first year, but nobody else seems to know what I am talking about ... including my surgeon ... who said he doesn't quite know what the benefit would be. The friend that used them her first year explained that it would help keep the skin tighter to reduce sagging. What can you advise/share? Thanks, Kaner :cursing: P.S. May I ask what kind of surgery you had back in July? I just followed the whole thread and realized that it's been a long-time thread.
