I was banded on Monday as well. The first night was really hard, but I feel great now. Still on liquids and will be for another week. I'm wanting other foods, but scared to try. I have lost 20 pounds since I started the battle and I'm gonna win. I want to wear a pair of jeans to my sons first football game.

At three weeks post op - I have lost 18 lbs. That's nearly a pound a day. I am just beginning soft foods. I also log everything on myfitnesspal.com It helps with accountability.

Keep with the liquids you will be happy you did! Every day that goes by you will be healed all the more. Today I put on a pair of jeans I haven't wore in 8 years (yep I saved them!) and I feel so good about how far I've come...I could cry. All these years I fought with my weight and being unhealthy-legs, back, heart burn...its so great to climb out of bed and enjoy going through my clothes!!!

I lost 79 pounds in just over a year with about 15-20 to go. I've been hanging out at this weight since February of this year and have just got a fill to take me down the last 15-20 pounds...so almost there.

It is a journey...for some it's faster than others. Much of that is within our control...sometimes not.

Was banded on 7/3, had my first post-op visit yesterday. Down 51 lbs! But I still have a long way to go.

Banded 4/4/12 lost 55 lbs so far. I have a lot more to lose but for the first time in a long time I am proud of myself!

Today is 6 months for me and I love my band. I have lost 58 pounds and can't wait to lose more. Agree with everyone who says find an exercise you like and do it. It really does help to burn the calories and to tone you up. Plus you just feel better about yourself when you exercise(at least I do). If you would have told me 6 months ago I would love Zumba, I would have told you that you were crazy!! You will find lots of things you never thought you wanted to do or try!

And welcome to the club

Best wishes to a healthier you!

I was banded 12/9/11. Almost 8 months post op and I have lost 57 pounds.

Still another 43 pounds to goal but I know when I start excercising I will get there sooner.

This is the best decision ever !!!!

Congrats, there are so many awesome changes in store for you. I agree with all the previous post, you have to put the effort in and do the work and eat healthy. It's so worth it in the end.

I'm 7 months post op and am down 86lbs.

Exercise is difficult at first but gets easier the more pounds you lose. I don't know where it came from but I have a little sign that says,

"It doesn't matter how slow you go, you're still lapping people sitting on the couch!"

Congrats again and good luck!
