Hey everyone!! I am a newbie here...but just wanted to share that I went to my one month post op appt. today and I have lost exactly 25 pounds! I was shocked! 10lbs were before surgery and a total of 15lbs since band surgery. I have not yet been filled, I will have my first fill on June 15th. I'm thinking 25lbs is pretty good but just want some input from you guys....I know a lot of it had to be water and sodium retention b/c I was a Diet Dr. Pepper addict! Like 6 a day! I gave them up cold turkey and have been drinking only water and unsweet tea from time to time. Thanks for you input and I am excited I found this great forum!

Congratulations on your success!!! I will be one month post op on Monday. I have lost a total of 34 pounds, and this is including my pre-op diet. However, I was extremely sick the first 5 days after the surgery and couldn't even hold water down. Good luck and best wishes for your success.

Congratulations to you as well!!! I hate that you were sick, but hopefully feeling much better now! It's exciting and scary at the same time, but oh soooo worth it! I already feel better!! More confident, more outgoing, my true personality has surfaced again! :-) Good luck and best wishes to you as well. Keep me posted and let me know if you have any good food/recipes tips that are working for you. I'm always interested in learning anything new to help! Thanks!

Great job. Here's to your continued success!
