Since start of pre-op diet:

I'll go first. 18.1 lbs.

We are the BEST losers ever!

Thaks for asking that Neato. Feelin kinda challenged here myself. Lost 10 pounds. Banded 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Thanks MamaK and Neato. I got the ticker workin!! Lost 10 pounds. 12 really but gained 2 back when I started mushies. Keep it up.

Hi all - I was just peeking in from my home in the Victorious Valentines and I had to say - Congratulations!! You guys are awesome. You're doing so well already. It give me warm fuzzies to see new people changing their lives all over this forum! Keep up the good work you skinny people, you!

Started my pre-op diet on April 4th, Surgery was April 25th have lost a total of 28lbs. Starting weight was 315lbs...

Keep up the great work everyone!

I'm stuck. Hanging in though, no gain, no loss. Congrats everyone! woohoo!

I can't seem to talk myself into feeling like the weight loss right now is a bonus! I should take my own advice, huh? I was doing so well, but now I'm just stuck. WHY???? I need to somehow kick it back into gear, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong or different.

14 lbs in 13 days........I will take that!! Glad to have all the side-by-side encouragement!!

I lost three more pounds this week for a total of 18.5 since pre-op (first week in April)! I'll take that. While it's not a ton of weight, I'm actually loosing a lot of inches which is all I really care about anyway. I've lost a total of 6.5 inches (boobs, waist, and hips)! I actually have clothes that fit!! Congrats to all you other loosers! We're doing great!

17.4 pounds gone. I was banded on April 21st

I'm stuck. I haven't lost or gained anything in a week and a half. At least I haven't gained. Moved up to soft foods - fill is less than a week away - and I can't wait to see how this thing works.

L2L: Ummmm, I think your body is probably in shock because you've lost SO MUCH WEIGHT!!!! You are a rock star! Let your body catch up and you'll be losing again in no time.

Hey, you need to let me catch up to you. I thought we were band buddies! You can't lose more than me sooner than me! LOL

Turler - you know you will catch up with me. You lucky dog! You got your fill early...I'm still so jealous! <see - green with envy> I have six more days - I am getting to love these little count downs. It gives me something to look forward to. I'm on soft foods now - so I think I've confused it again...lol...hopefully I'll have a drop any day now. My scale is like a yo-yo right now...and YES, I am still addicted to my scale!

Yeah...maybe we have 'Transfer Addiction' to our scales! LOLOLOL I just crack myself up! But really, I knew I couldn't stay away from the scale, but it's really not hurting me so far. I actually think looking at it every day keeps me in line. I am a 'gotta know' kinda girl.

You are so far ahead of me already in the pounds lost department! I am so proud of you! I'll bet you look great!

Hey, Turler. I'm with you. Addicted to my scale, frustrated every day I don't loose anything...which again has been over a week. I had been stuck before my fill May 9, then lost for a couple weeks, now STUCK again! I'm getting hungry again, up to 1200-1300 cals a day just to not feel famished all the time....next fill not till June 6.

But I can't keep myself from weighing myself every morning hoping that suddently it goes down...llike 5 pounds in one day would make me happy! (well, OK, maybe at least a stupid pound would help!)

I hate plateaus!
