No problem, go ahead and post your current weight and I will update the table this weekend. Yes we do it it every month but you have to read the posts to find the name of next months challenge. You also may want to leave a brief introduction, most of us do these challenges every month so we have a built in support group.

Thanks Larry! My current weight is 184.5.

Hi everyone! I wanted to leave a little introduction as well, my name is Andrea, I am 25 but will be 26 on the 25th this month. I am 5"3' and was 200 lb for my adult life. Every year I continued to gain 8-10 lbs since I was 18. I just kept getting bigger no matter what diet I was on or how much I exercised, so I decided to get the lap band so I could stop gaining and get control of my life. I didn't want to be anymore overweight than I was in my late 20's or 30's, so I made this decision in hopes it would help me in the long run. I was banded may 4th and am in mushy food right now, but so far so good :)

Hello everyone. I'm late posting...because believe it or not...my scale is broken. I know that I am "up" a few pounds (but I have now switched from mushies to real food). I will either get it fixed or get a new one by next week so I can post a real weight--and hopefully a loss. I will let you know that the last time I was able to get an actual weight...it was 247.5...which is up from the last posting...I am really looking forward to that first fill and being able to actually feel full.

Until next week....hope everyone has a great week.

Dawn checking in at 189. No change this week. I am very pleased however that I am 7 months post op and have lost 70 pounds. I knew I would lose weight but I didnt think it would be so drastic so quickly! I love my band :)

Ok... I worked hard theis week to undo the the 4 pounds I gained from the cruise. So I weighed in at 200 this morning. Realy? could it not be 199!!! I have been trying now for 3 weeks to land on this elusive number.....Maybe my scales don't go that low....that's probably it.--haha

Anyhoo......200 it is..I better see 199 tomorrow!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
