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 on 7/12. I think I lost 11 lbs with pre-op diet. I'm down 26.5 as of today!

Nine days out banded 7/25 lost 13 lbs to date.......Going to mushies next week.....cant wait! CAT

Hi

Everyone is doing great. Banded 7/26, discharged 7/29 due to an esophagitis. All healed now. On discharge from hospital, weighed in reflecting a 13 lbs down [269 on admission]; I am down 23 lb. I stopped weighing daily until official weigh in on Friday; prior to that I had dropped weight because my weight climbed up to 275 from my original first visit weigh in at 253. In April, I started to diet and walk and dropped down to 265 then I went on vacation, I was careful but upon return the scale reflected 269 morning of surgery. My ankles kept swelling up. All of this has disappeared and my ankles look normal and thin.

In total: 30 lb loss.

Keep up the good work.

Congratulations to all!

Pre-op diet on June 7th (had 2 week liquid pre-op diet) - lost 25 pounds

Banded with Hernia repair on Friday, July 22 - as of today 14 days post op - 8 lbs lost

My doctor is strict so I won't be able to start mushy foods for another two weeks!

I was banded on July 27th and I have lost 23 lbs so far and 16lbs was on my pre-op diet. Congrats for the weightloss on all the other July 2011 banders!!!!

i was banded on july 11th am down 22 pounds!!! and down 2 sizes

Great Job ALL!

I was banded July 11, down about 25 total including 2 weeks pre-op. I am not feeling the difference in clothes yet. I notice that it takes a while for my clothes to reflect the weight loss. I feel good. I get tired easily still and have some port pain if I try to lean down to far. I am eating pretty normally. Struggling with not drinking during meals. Had a glass of wine last night. Other than that, I'm really sticking with eating 3 small meals no rice, Pasta or bread.

Wishing you all continued success. Thanks for the support.

I was banded 7/12/11.....I have lost 24 pounds so far

Here's my stats:

Highest weight 262

Weight when started pre-op diet: 225

Weight on surgery day (July 28): 218

Weight now: 210

Today was my first day of mushies and I"m expecting TOM soon so I will likely not lose anything for at least another week or so. That is ok though!

Hi fellow Banders,

Banded July 26, 2011 and a total of 27 pounds gone since surgery.

Ten lost prior to surgery for a grand total of 37.

Two more pounds and I will move out of the 240 range......can't wait.

Everyone is doing a great job. I graduate to mushy, puree phase next Monday.

I was banded on the 29th and I'm down 18 lbs post-op and 43.3 pre/post including the dieting i did on my own during the lap band process.

I am almost 6 weeks post op and as of today I am down 31 lbs!

I haven't had a fill yet, but have an appt on Wednesday. I'm a little mervous about food possibly getting stuck, but looking forward to increasing my results.

Just 9 lbs to go to get me to onederland. It's been years...SO EXCITED!

surgery july 21st...Loss 6 lbs. Had a fill, I feel pretty good restriction. Second band, so I think that is why loss is slow going. My body is used to calorie restriction.

I had my first fill august 15 and from that monday to friday I lost 6 pounds making me 218 but then that weekend i went to the beach for a family function and i really didnt eat much of anything i think my calories came from what i was drinking...I came home and gained that weight back..today I weigh 223 and im depressed about it but i am hungry..I dont know what to do...any suggestions to get me out of this weight rut? Thanks!

I was banded on July 19th and I'm down 19 pounds. I wish I had more energy anyone else still feel sluggish???
