How do these challanges work? do you just pick a goal and work toward it?

Exactly, I usually look at how long I have, and compared to the restriction level I am at, and how much more I have to lose and then decide a reasonable goal. Like since you are newly banded and not on solids yet, I would say 8 pounds (1 a week) and then throw in 2 weeks for mini-plateaus and go for 6 pounds. But thats just me:biggrin: Do whatever will work for you. Just click on the spreadsheet link and put your name in a box and your starting weight and goal beside it.

Wow that sounds like fun....I think I'm gonna give it a try! I think 6lbs is a good goal for my 1st time out and since I'm still on mushy foods.....whoo hooo I'm actually excited to do this.

When do we start and what day do we weigh in?

Use your weight as of today for starting weight and weigh ins are officially on Monday, however if you only weigh a once a week just chime in anytime and put it on the spreadsheet on that week.

Even if you weigh less often than once a week you are welcome to join and just log your weight any weeks that you want to. You really only need a starting weight (your last weigh in), a goal, and a final weight (on Halloween or Nov 1st) to participate.

I am in! I really need some motivation. I was banded on August 2nd and have lost 20 lbs but have been eating really bad latley and really hungry. I go for my first fill on September 23rd so I hope that will help.

Thanks for posting this.

In for 20; that will put me in the 150s range, though I will be on vacation in Vegas for 5 days, should be interesting!

Just keyed mine in...wasnt sure what would be a good goal for me. I just had my first fill and very little restriction so I am hoping I can lose at least another 10lbs.

Oh! I love the idea of doing this Challenge! It will hopefully give me a real kick in the butt. I put my goal at 226, that will be 2 pounds a week for me!

      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... :(
