Hello everyone!

Just wanted to know how much you've lost in three months?

I would appreciate feedback on: what food stage were you on in 3 mos, exercise routine, etc.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Hi:

I lost 37 pounds in 3 months. I lost 38 pounds before banding too, so 75 total after 6 months.

I walk 4 to 5 miles per day and sometimes use the elpitical too. I usually take one day off from exercise per week.

Good luck.

Sue

Thanks Sue!

What food stage were you on in 3 months??

I'm eating anything that I want to, in small quantities of course. I was following a modified weight watchers for two and a half months prior to banding, then I went through two weeks prior to surgery of liquids only, then two weeks of liquids post surgery, then mushies, then no limitations on what I eat, only limited by my little band friend as to how much I can eat. Of course, I'm not mowing down Cookies, cake, and ice cream, because I want this to work. I have had an occasional cookie, and I was having frozen yogurt once a week, but I had to walk to get it, so I felt like I earned these treats.

I feel much better, and lots of people tell me I'm really slimming down. I started with size 26/28 and today I have a size 20 pants on. My top half is thinner than my bottom half, but hopefully it will all balance out in the end.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be glad to help.

I've only lost 13 pounds. I lost a bit on the pre-op diet but gained it all back before my first fill. I got my third fill 10 days ago and I finally feel restriction and am eating a lot less.

I do admit that I haven't started exercising.

Nov 24th will mark 3months since i was banded. I have lost 71lbs so far.

August 30th was my band date and 75 lbs as of today. I am able to eat anything in small portions, but avoid bread, sugars, sodas, rice, Pasta, potatoes, anything high in calories/carbs.

My exercise routine is walking 4-5 miles per day for 5 days a week, upper body weight training 2 times per week, lower body 2 times per week, like a modified Body for Life plan

I had my 3 month follow-up and have lost about 33lbs. I did not have a pre-op diet. I eat anything now, have a bit of restriction but not much and am going in for my third fill on Friday.

princesst: wow! 71lbs! congratulations! whats your exercise routine like? what was your starting weight? how tall are you?

sorry for the barrage of questions. were about the same age (im 26) and i just want to compare, i guess?

thanks in advance!

Dave01 adn KarenG. - congratulations! such an inspiration!

At 3 months I had lost 30 pounds exactly. I have yet to start exercising (I know - very bad of me). I have occassionaly gone for a bike ride (not exercise - nice and leisurely) and gone for walks (again leisurely). That is more active than I was but certainly not what I would consider exercise.

I have eaten just about whatever I want. I have stayed away from soft breads, popcorn, and limited my sweets.

I just went for my 4th fill; I have been fussed at to stop eating tortillas and french fries. I have really good restriction so I wouldn't even attempt either of them at this point.

Good luck to you on your journey!!

Oh - and I haven't touched a soda since a week before my surgery. I gave up my true love - Diet Coke.

I am self-pay so I didn't want to do anything to jeapordize my results. Seems like I would eat better and exercize too, huh? I'm working on it - lol or I'm gettin' 'round to it hehehe

wombat712: thanks for your reply! i have to agree - im self pay as well. a definite extra incentive to get my butt off the couch!

good luck to you! yay!

First three months, lost about 20kg (44lb). Skip forward a year and a half - last 3 months, lost about 2kg, (4.4lb), lol.

I'm almost at 3 months and have lost 55lbs. 14lbs of that was on the 2 week pre-op liquid diet.

I can eat anything since I’ve only had one fill and not had any restriction yet. I try and stay away from carbs and sugar. I usually consume about 900 calories and 75 grams of Protein per day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Exercise is an area I need to work on. I walk 2 miles a day with my dog 4-5 days per week. Now that the weather has gotten cold, I've lost my motivation. I need to join a gym but haven't gotten the courage to do so yet. I went to Curves the other day but the membership fee plus $45.00 a month seems a bit high to me. <O:p

I've lost 34 # in 3 months and my bff who had surgery with me has lost 55 #. Neither of us are excercising yet. :straight

Lost 65 lbs in 3 months but i know its going to sloowwww way down from here. Last month i lost 12lbs.

Try to exercise about 1 hour a day. Swim , weightlift or walk/jog.
