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

Banded 7/27, started pre-op diet 7/21 and down 13 lbs, mostly preop.

Banded on July 26. Down 13 pounds. No preop diet required.

Banded today and lost 25 pounds on the two week pre-op diet. I felt the best I'd felt going into surgery. Tonight a little achey--nothing major. Can't wait for mushys in a week...

I was banded July 11. After about a week of being stuck at the same weight the scale finally moved today and I am down 36.6 pounds.

Banded July 12. Today is my 3 week bandiversary and I am down 21 lbs from first consultation. I didn't do a liquid preop diet, so I only lost about 5 lbs doing the low carb thing. All the rest has come post-op, from the band doing it's job!

I was banded 7/27, with no pre-op diet, and I am down 22 lbs. So ready to be on full liquids or mushies or pizza (HA!). Go see my Doc on Thursday so I am going to beg for some mushy food.

So proud of us all,

Lynn

Lost 10 pounds on 2 week pre-op diet.

Banded on 7/21

As of today - 12 - days post op - lost another 10 lbs.

While I am eating almost nothing (!!) the scale has stopped moving ... need to get to mushies !

I was banded a week ago 7/27 - lost 8 lbs pre-op and now I am down a total of 15 lbs. Scale hasn't moved in the past two days and I was starting to get nervous. Think I will stop weighing everyday! Great job everyone.. We can do this!

I was banded on July 7th and I am down 18 lbs. It seems that we are all keeping fairly the same pace. I am finding that i am not getting enough calories in (shocking) I do best when I get around 800 calories a day.
