It's been a month since my surgery. I can't believe its only been a month! and I want to eat everything I see. I lost 12 pounds pre-op and since surgery only 5 pounds! So only about 17-19 pounds up and down on a good day! I can't believe that's all. Clothes still fit the same and I just want to start losing! I go for my first fill this saturday! so im hoping I will feel some restriction and the pounds will come off!

congratulations on your bandiversary. mine is tomorrow. I go in 3 weeks for my 7 week check up and possible fill. I am still losing at this point. i have not updated my ticker tape cause i want to use the doctors scale for my official.

again CONGRATULATIONS on your bandiversary!

YAY! congrats to you too! Didn't it go by so fast? I can't believe its only been a month and *knock on wood*, I have had noooo complications! except my skin being so dry! I look like a reptile! its awful.

Why is your skin so dry? Are you getting enough Water in?

I didn't even realize that my one month is a couple days away until you posted this. I'm only down 5 pounds since surgery...and that is only when my "water retention" issues are giving me a break. But I'm sooooo happy to not be gaining weight...ecstatic that for the first time in FOREVER I'm actually motivated to exercise...and feel blessed that I have not had a single post-op issue (unless you count the rash caused by the anti-bacterial soap). Overall, this has been a great experience so far...I'm very hopeful that this is going to work...but not loving being in "bandster hell" even though I knew to expect it.

I wonder what's up with your skin though...we should be able to get this figured out for you and get you baby-soft in no time.

You are doing really well! I'm nearing my 2 month anniversary on February 3rd and to date have lost 12 since surgery for a total of 21 pounds (9 lbs lost on pre op diet). So you are doing great. I soooo know how you feel about clothes not feeling looser, me either. Cannot wait for that. Wishing you continued success.

oh and good luck with the fill.

Beck, I am drinking alot of wAter. I Have always been a water drinker! Ughh so annoying lol my doc said it's normal some patients are like me and some aren't. By the end of the day my black pants are white!!!! It's sick my body is lacking something but idk

Congratulations! You are doing great!

I think the word ONLY should not be used when you are talking about 17+ pounds......that is a great accomplishment!! Keep up the good work.

Ive been stuck at this weight for 3 weeks now

You're doing great!

I lose in spurts, too, which can be frustrating. I will go a couple weeks bouncing up and down around the same pound, and then suddenly I'll see a drop all at once. Then I stick there for another couple weeks. Your body may be similar-- give it some more time and I bet you'll see a pattern emerge!

Ohh I hope! I want people to stArt noticing
