I think we should make a thread stating our current losses.

I have lost 34 pounds since I began my weight loss surgery journey.

Stacy you need to realize that you don't have as much to loose as some of us. My starting BMI was 50. I lost 40 pounds the first 7-8 weeks and then it slowed way down. I only lost 10 pounds during December and that was a real struggle. I need a fill, I've only had one so far. I've had to cancel appointments because where I go they won't give you a fill unless you've lost less than 2 pounds a week. I'll go for 2 weeks without loosing and then just before a scheduled fill I'll loose a couple and have to cancel my appointment. Then I'll go a couple more weeks without loosing again. I hope to be able to get a second fill on the 9th of Jan.

How many fills have you had so far? Good Luck and Happy New Year.

I am at 22.5 as well. I just had my 3rd fill. Wish it was faster but it is MUCH better than gaining!

I was banded 1/10/07 and have lost 14kgs so far - inc 1 week pre op diet (Approx 31 Pounds)

pre band 122kgs - 1 week diet -

From what I understand you have to get a fill at least once a month while you are trying to reach your goal for the weight to come off. I actually go every 3 weeks although my 3rd fill I had to have unfilled because it was so tight. Anyway, I got banded on 10/3/07 and just had my 4th fill.

I was banded on 10/18 and have lost 32 pounds.

I only lost 2.5lb in the last month, which I was initially disappointed about. Then I realised that I don't think I've ever LOST weight over Christmas in my life ... so I've decided to be proud and pleased that I went down and not up over the holidays!

Total of 47 down now and I'd like to get back to a loss of about 10 a month. If I do that I'll be half way to goal by Valentine's Day :smile:

I went to see my surgeon today and he was very pleased with my weight loss so far and we agreed that I wouldn't have another fill just yet. I have had one fill since I was banded on in October and so far (fingers crossed) it has been enough to get me losing a little weight every week.... well that and the fact that I have become addicted to going to the gym!

I'm in (I'd like to lose 14, but I'll shoot for 10).

First challenge: Drink 84 oz. of Water today!!

34 oz. down and 50 to go!!

P.S. I want the old smileys back! :cool:

I'd like to lose 14 pounds by Valentines day! I was banded on October 24th and lost 20 before the surgery and 34 since.
