Down 50 Pounds - 3 1/2 Months Out Of Lap Band Surgery!!!!

I can't believe it - I've never lost 50 pounds in my life - usually stop at 40 pounds on all prior diets. I was so happy to see this on the scale this morning. 3 1/2 months out of surgery - I'm thrilled with these results so far. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF US ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!:D

Congrats, good to hear I'm getting ready for my banding and it's great to see such a wonderful success story keep up the good work.

I can't wait to be banded and add to this thread! You all are so motivating!!

Being banded in 4 days! I can't wait to share a success story like all of you. You are so inspiring! It's keeping me going on this liquid preop diet.

Congrats...keep up the hard work...I have been banded almost 16 weeks and have lost close to 65 pounds! It feels great!

can i ask what your exercise regimen is? i'm one week post op and walking 30 mins daily right now but i am definitely looking for great exercise tips for when i can begin fully exercising (:

Congrats keep up the good work!! :))

Wow. I was banded 1 week as of yesterday. Im down 6 lbs. Was down 8 before surgery. 14 total. When you have your first fill, how does that usually impact weight loss?

I went for my follow-up post surgery and Dr did a partial fill on Tuesday... This whole process is so much easier than I expected.

Can anyone share information about their weight loss the first month after banding? I'm on liquids (protein shakes, Jello, sf pudding etc).

Id be thrilled with 50 off in 3.5 months. Thats such a huge loss.

Any information would be appreciated.

thanks

Great job! I am like you, never lost this much before100lbs). I never met goal, most I lost was 20-30 lbs even with WW. I am proud and happy. Good luck and keep up the excellent weight loss! Karen
