-17 lbs Gone 4 EVER!! Yippee!!

Hi All!! On the 10th of this month will be a month with my band and I have lost 17lbs since surgery!!! It's great. I feel great and I started back working out a week after surgery. I just wanted to say thanks for all the motivation. Good luck to All and keep up the good work. For the people that just got banded (less than a week) the pain will all go away soon. Just believe that this was a great decision!!!

Take care:thumbup:

Thanks for posting Dina. That is encouraging to me. I was banded on Tuesday, April 8. I'm still in pain, but I can see how it has improved today. Congratulations, you are doing great!

I had my surgery on Monday of this week. Each day I'm getting better and better. I finally have lost the 2.8 pounds I put on from being in the hospital!!!! Since pre-op started, I'm down almost 16 pounds.

When you say you started working out a week out from surgery, what are you doing? Are you walking, or actually using weights? I feel confident I could do the treadmill for about 30 minutes, but I know I wouldn't be able to walk as fast as I normally would.

Congratulations on your weight loss!:huh2:

Banded on the 18th of March and today as of today 17 of my pounds are gone forever too! congrats to us all!!!

Awesome job! I was banded on March 4th and have lost 40.5. I have not started working out yet, but hope to this week. This is the best thing I have ever done! I love the band. It has really changed my life. What is your work out routine? I think I am going to start walking.
