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!!

Whoop whoop!! Bashy that's AWESOME!! Youre kicking butt girlie! We'll be out of Twoderville and into Onederland in NO time!

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.

ignore me lol I did not see the 2011 part. And I cannot seem to figure out how to delete this post lol. Great job all your new bandites!

I was banded on 7/5 and I've lost 20 pounds so far!

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

Im down 24lbs since my preop diet started July 5th! Banded on July 15th!

@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!!!

Congrats to all!!!!!

My surgery is the 26th and can't wait to join stats!!!!

I was banded on July 1. I'm down anywhere from 19-23lbs. The scale hops around each day, yes, I'm bad, I'm a daily weigher!!

I've also been stuck here since I was on clear liquids. Now I'm on Phase 3 of my dr.'s plan and I'm eating soft foods, I'm hoping that once my body adjusts to this the scale will start moving down again. I also do the treadmill and stationary bike for a total of 45 mnts 5 days a week at the gym.
