Hi Everyone! Today was my first follow up appointment with my Dr. My surgery was on Nov.16th and with the holiday, this was the first time my doctor was in my area. Y'all, I have lost 40lbs. This includes my 1 week of liquids pre-op. I am thrilled, and awed, and thankful! I was too excited not to share.

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Awesome, congrats on your new journey and your progress!!!!

AWESOME!!! I would have to share too! Update your ticker!

Chez took the words out of my mouth.

Awesome! Congratulations! Very proud of you!

Thank you all very much! I'm so excited. I was released to start exercising today as well, so I'm hoping the loss just continues from here.

Wow!! That is great!!!

Congrats!! That's awesome!

Do you mind me asking how much you lost during the one week of pre op dieting? I only had to do clears for 3 days so I only lost a few lbs. My one week check up is this Wednesday. I'm not going to be anywhere near 40 lbs down! I Have been hoping to be down 15 lbs. at my one week check up. Congrats for you though! That's awesome!

Wow, that is outstanding!! I know it was hard! I am going on my 2nd week post op and am starving.....How many calories were you eating (approximately)? I am about 12 lbs down since surgery. Very happy for you

Well done! You're doing great.

Congrats!! I was banded on November 30 and am looking forward to heading in for my postop follow-up next Tuesday. Keep up the good work!!

Congrats! That's a huge success! I'm very happy for you.

Congratulations on your success this far!

I was also banded Nov 16th and I am down 30lbs, feels amazing

Keep up the great work!

Hi!

Sorry.. premature send button.. lol I too was banded on the 16th and down 32 from the start of liquids. Love the weight loss and learning how to use this tool! One question I do have for everyone is can you feel your port? Mine is still very prominent and feels like some liquid is around it. Anyone else? Congrats to everyone!

I don't mind at all! I lost 19lbs on my week pre op liquid diet. I only had Atkins shakes, broth, Water, and Jello. It was brutal! I didn't expect to lose 40 either. Completely shocked!
