In the week since I had surgery on December 13, I have lost 18 pounds!!! It has, indeed, been a fantastic decision. I know this rapid loss won't continue, but it truly made me feel fantastic stepping on that scale.

I get to start softs tomorrow. I'm kind of scared about moving to that, but I think it will be ok. I have great resources and support. I SO hope that I can be down more than 100 lbs by next year!

Congrats!! Good job on your loss...I lost 16 in one week..its nice to know i wont be gaining it back.

have you been working out at all?

RIGHT ON! You go girl!

Congrats and good Luck in your future..

Hey there I got banded on the 13th and I went back to my dr this past thursday the 20th for my post-op and I had lost 14 and I was so happy! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Congrats everyone! Way to go! I lost a lot the first week .. . and then . . . nothing for a week and a half .. . I even call the dr's office and said "whats wrong here" and they said don't fret . . . that seems to be "normal" after a bit because you body thinks you're starving it . . . just keep on track .. . we could be loosing inches . . . and lo and behold . . . this morning the scale moved again! Yea!

I lost 12 pounds in my first week. However, in my second week I've gained almost 2 pounds of that back... and I just truly start mushies today. Needless to say I'm not very happy.

I lost 13 the 2nd week. I haven't weighed since then, but, I feel awesome.

As far as working out, I walk on my treadmill every night and then I also do a lot of yoga/pilates/movement. One of my favorite things, completely not from any of those is 'sitting' on a wall, doing push-ups on a wall and doing sit-ups on a big exercise ball. I do a lot of work w/ my big exercise ball (have learned a ton from the Physical Therapists at school... I teach special ed). I'm not a traditional, go to the gym kind of chick. I wish I could get in the Water and swim, but my doc wants me to wait at least until I'm 6-8 weeks post-op.
