July 2011 Bandsters-weight lost so far

[CurlyDiva 5]

I feel like the July Bandsters are such comrades! Lol!!

How are you all doing with weight lost so far?

I was banded 7/13/11 and so far I'm down 16 lbs! Amazing! I can start on mushies 7/27/11

SN: I had no pre-op requirements so I ate what I wanted up until the day before surgery so all of my weight loss has been POST-op

I was also banded on 7/13 and I'm down 17 lbs (including weight lost during my pre-op diet)!! Can't wait to get out of the 200lbs!!! Wishing you the best of luck!!

Down 30 pounds since starting pre-op diet on 5/17. Only 3 pounds since 7/6, though. But better to be down 3 than up, so I will take it. 55 pounds to go until my ultimate goal weight. Here's to us becoming too skinny.

18 lbs so far counting 12 days pre-op. I'm getting on the dr's scale today so we'll see what that says. I feel much the same though, and my clothes fit about the same. I know this makes no sense but I keep thinking I'll be at my goal weight but still wearing a size 20 (I'm fully aware of hoe ridiculous tha sounds). I am excited for the future though...a little at a time and I'll get there

Congrats to all of you guys!

I'm down about 19lbs to include 6 lbs from the pre-op. I'm happy with the loss but I haven't lost anything in the last week which makes me sad. I'm hoping this week picks up again. Anyone else have that problem?

I am down about 15 pounds. I was banded on 7/12 and did not have to do a pre-op diet but did a modified version of one and lost 7 pounds pre-op. I have lost 8 pounds in the last week (since surgery).

Sounds like you are all doing great! Keep it up!

I feel so good about this choice I made for my health.

I am doing much better today since surgery. I had a battle with the gas villian and he won first round. As a matter of fact it was a TKO . I got up and refused to be a victim/quitter again. I started to walk and I walked until i was sweating and bit tired. Then I walked some more and guess what I knock out the gas villian this time.

I was also banded 7/13/11 and i am down 17 lbs! Its unbelieveable!!

I can't wait to start on mushies 7/27/11. I love eggs...lol

I lost 14 lbs on my pre op diet. Had surgery on 7/7 and have lost 10 lbs since then. My 2 week post op appt. is on thurs. so, hopefully I can start mushies then. I'm not really feeling hungry. But I'm not getting a full feeling others describe either. I just feel different some how...like i'm more in control of my appetite somehow. Don't know if this is the honeymoon phase or what...but so far, so good. I really can't wait to get the ok to swim again and move around more.

[deb8735 1]

I was banded on 7/12, and am down 17 lbs, 11 of which was pre-op diet.

[Labella624 10]

@tracy that's GReat!!!!! And don't fret about the scale not moving, remember this is the time for healing. Also, prepare yourself to gain a few lbs when u can start eating full solids again, because again you're adding food back to your diet from a liquid diet! So kudos to you!!

@Gina that's absolutley amazing!!! I'm literally salivating at the thought if eating eggs again!!! Lol 7/27 is my mushy start day too.

Yayyy for all of us on our way to ONEderville!!!
