I was banded on 3/11/08. I have lost 32.5 pounds since I started my pre-op diet. My doctor still has me on liquids and I don't go to mushies until my first fill which will be 4/14/08. I am looking forward to that.

My starting weight was 253 and my weight today was 220.5. I drink my Proteins, Water and exercise daily.:regular_smile:

Congratulations everyone. Keep up the good work.

Hi Kathyline,

I just wanted to give congrats to you on your weight loss. Your pre-op weight is very simlar to mine. I was very curious as to how many days you work out?, what you mainly eat ? Do you replace a meal? I am really trying to get this weight off. I was banded 3-21-2008 and I have lost a total of 23lbs (pre-op diet lost 13lbs). I really am focus on getting this weight off and keeping it off . Please give feedback soon. I really am interested in getting good results.

I was banded on March 4th. With pre op diet, total weight loss as of last week is 21 lbs. I only weight once a week, trying not to obsess over it. I feel as if I could do a lot better if I had some restriction. As of right now I think I've lost this 21 lbs on will power alone. I go for my first fill on the 23rd of this month. Hopefully then I'll have some restriction. Congrats to all Shrinking Shamrocks!

I don't think so. I was banded the same day and I am down 21lbs. My scale hasnt moved in the last few days, but I am now on mushys and I believe my body has to adjust.

Thats wonderful! You are on your way. I am very anxious this morning due to a few things and this is the 3rd morning my scale hasn't moved! I am hoping all of a sudden more weight comes off!

      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!!
