So proud of myself. Doctors appointment went fantastic yesterday. I'm down 12 pounds in one week. And my doctor says I am doing well enough to up my diet slowly. So tonight I practiced my new chewing tonight and ate even less food because I was fuller quicker..... first time ever I have stopped eating and went....hmm that's enough and been satisfied! Anyone else experience this? Tell me your proud moment since having the band. :) look forward to hearing your special moment.

i have several proud moments. but the one i enjoy most

is knowing i can NOW push my baby granddaughter around the block in her stroller..

I'm only on my 6th day so I don't really have any proud moments yet, but you said that you lost 12 lbs in a week... Exactly what week are you on after having the surgery?

Wow, 12 pounds, that's great! My proud moment was sitting in an airplane seat and not having to ask for the extender belt. My husband was like, wow, you must feel great! Keep up the great work!

I am the same as you. I am now one week one day post op. So as of my weigh in today I have lost 13.2 pounds. And yeah I know its early but I already have my proud moment. Because before I would have been back into the kitchen to eat 10x the amount of food I ate last night and I would have had a huge slice of the pie I baked my boyfriend. But after a bite of the pie filling I decided it wasn't worth it and it didn't taste good (to me....he loved it). Keep me posted about your weight loss :)

Oh my gosh I can't wait to take an airplane ride again....last time I was so big and cramped I felt like all my fat was rolling onto the passenger...needless to say I can't wait to fit.

My proud moment came when I went to my first appointment on April 4th and found out I lost 10 pounds. I did the happy dance on the scale and my husband just looked at me. ~Snicker~

How many days/weeks out are you? And not to worry I do the same thing when I see a weight loss haha.

I am at day 9 now. I had surgery on March 27th. I'm excited to see the weight come off like that. That is one of the motivating factors for me.

I've had so many but the two most recent have been seeing relatives that have not seen me. It had been years since I saw my husband's Aunt and she just said..."wow you look different!". Also, at the same gathering I saw his sister-in-law, who inspired me with her weight loss, and she said..."you look great, wow you really look great!" What a boost!

I'm pretty new to band( 2/19) but my proud moment came two days ago. I had been "stuck" at 236lbs and was waiting anxiously to see 235--- that number just became really important to me. So I got on the scale in the morning HOPING to see 235----- and it said 233!!!!( well, 233.8 but STILL!! Lol)

It went back up to 235 today but I don't care because it once said 233!!! That means I can do this!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
