18 lbs down and so excited!!!

I was banded last Tuesday May 31st. I started my pre - op diet on May 17th, and lost 12 lbs, and I weight myself this morning and lost another 6 lbs in the week since I've had surgery, for a total of 18 lbs in 3 weeks!

I know I wont lose this much every week, but I am so excited! After 3 weeks I already have clothes that are getting to big! Wow...

I never thought I would have the strength to survive the liquid pre-op diet or the surgery for that matter, but I did it, and every day I am feeling better and I just cant wait until I finish healing and can start working out more and eating a bit more normal.

This is one of the hardest things I will probably ever do, but so rewarding already!

That's awesome! I was just banded today! :) They weighed me and I was down 10 lbs from my 2 week preop diet. The next couple of weeks I hope to see the scale continue to move down!

Congrats! This is very encouraging to read :D

YAY!! That's great!!

that is great!! I was banded today, and i hope i do that well. I can't wait to start seeing the pounds drop.

hi there.. this is my first time on the site, and scrolling thru I came across you're post. Mostly caught my attention as I'm 17lbs down and then discovered we had surgery the same day! :) I would love to hear and share your experiences thus far and along the way. Let me know, as I'm trying to stay optimistic, but fear it's not gonna work out as well as I'd hoped. Like you, I am also anxious to really start walking/exercising more and eat real food..this "diet" is quite boring :) . Hope to talk soon, take care.
