let me start out with holy sh**!!!!!!! today is 3weeks since my band and i have lost 25 freakin lbs :) i still have a ways to go but i am pumped. i waited to weigh myself becuase i didnt want to obsess over my scale everyday, but yesturday my pants legit feel down haha im not even lying they dropped to the floor embarressing yet exciting at the same time LOL. it has been hard since im real hungry alot more these past couple days but im drinking tons of Water and hopefully after my first fill that will help.. i start exercising today so that should melt away some more weight. my question is, is this the height of significant weight loss? i mean like afta this will it be the slooow process? either way im so happy i decided to do this.. only thing i regret is waiting so long!

thanx in advance for your input guys

Stace We have the same surgery day!! When i had my first post op one week later i had lost 15 lbs. I havent weighed myself at home because like you i dont want to become obessed. But like you my clothes are fitting different and its great. good job and keep up the great work!

Congratulations! That is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Stace, I think everyone is different as far as the rate of weight loss. I was banded 6.5 weeks ago and have lost 18.8 lbs since beginning my pre-op diet, so it's been fairly slow for me. BUT, I weigh myself daily (record my weight 1/week) and this week it looks like I might have a bigger loss than I have been. Not sure what's different, since I haven't changed anything, but it just goes to show that weight loss is a mysterious and unexplainable process. For most people the rate of loss will fluctuate, so it may slow down for you for a while, then speed up, then slow down again. The important thing is to remember that as long as the weight keeps coming off, you're doing great.

Good luck!

Christmas of 2010 - picture this: I'm out of state at my new boyfriends (now my new husband) families house for Christmas. I'm wearing a really cute black skirt that I had to roll the waist on cuz it was too big. I'm standing in the middle of the room with about 6 other people and my legs felt a little cold. My skirt was on the floor! My boyfriend noticed and helped me pull it up - thank God everyone else was in deep conversation and no one else saw it (at least we don't think so!). I had to belt my skirt that day and the minute we got home it went in the goodwill pile.

Congrats! You're doing so well!

Good for you!! I was wondering the same thing..I lost 10pds pre op and then so far 13 pds post op..and it has only been a week since surgery..I will take it too!! I expect that once I start solids the weight loss will slow down...I hope not, but...I was not expecting to lose it all so quickly anyways..

Congrats!!!
