I don't know about the rest of you but I am so psyched!! :tt2: I thought it would be fun to see how much we have lost ... say starting with your preop diet (or at least 2 weeks before banding) until now. I think it would also be very motivational for the rest of those who are still waiting to be banded -- give them something to look forward to and help shake those jitters!

Anyway, I was banded on May 8, and as of today have lost a total of 20.5 pounds!! :wink_smile:

I have lost 42lbs so far. I love it!!

One more pound!!! Total of 36lbs!!! Woooooo hooooo!!!!

WOW! Everyone is doing SUPER!

I made it to the 250s! About 45 pounds gone and a BMI under 40!!!

Congratulations!! Doesn't it feel good to be a loser??? :biggrin:

I have lost 42lbs so far. I love it!!

Does that 42lbs include pre-op diet? That is fantastic!!!!!

I was banded May 22, so I am in my 7th week & down 15lbs.

:smile: ugh, quick vent: i've been teetering between 250 & 248 for the last couple of weeks. this sucks!!!!! i can't wait for my long overdue fillllllllll!!!!!!!!

Don't feel bad KiKiVal! I have been going back and forth with these couple of pounds for almost a month now...BUT I am losing inches, so that's good...i guess...still trucking along though. I am trying just protein and veggies...we'll see how this works. :smile:

hey lexy that's great!!! inches are awesome!! :redface:

soooo...i was thinking on my drive home, things could be worse, i could have not lost anything at all. i'm trying to stay proud of my accomplishment thus far... :smile2:

I had my surgery May 7 and I've lost 22 lbs. I've had 1 .5cc fill, but due to vomiting and severe pain I had to be unfilled. I have no restriction now, I'm so thankful I have fill appt next week.

I was starting to worry that I was never going to lose another pound! I lost only 1 lb. in 4 weeks of mushies and since then I've stayed the same. But today I got on my home scale and it says I was down 10 pounds! How is that possible?!?!? :thumbup: Just to make sure I got on the scale at teh gym and that said down 9 pounds so I guess it's right. :thumbs_down:

Whatever -- I'll take it! Of course I still go by my doctors scale as the offical measurement and I go in for a check and 2nd fill on July 30th.

Okay so tell me everyone.... I am seeing some fantastic weight loss on here and I'm wondering if you are including your preop weight loss?? I am 6 weeks post op today with one fill and have only lost 16lbs.... seeing all your great numbers leaves me alittle discouraged. :thumbup:

But congrats to everyone on these great numbers I'm seeing!!!!

Paige everyone losses at a different pace don't get discouraged 16 lbs is amazing! Would you have done that without your band? BTW my weight loss is including my pre-op liquid diet.

Had my 2nd fill yesterday and was told I probably need 1 or 2 more to hit the sweet spot. I now have 6 1/2 cc's in a 12cc band.

Paige: I'm thinking that it includes pre-op also. Also, I think that the more weight that needs to be lost, the initial loss will be quicker. I had no pre-op requirements and since May 1st I am down 22lbs...that's 10 weeks. 2.2lbs per week is very good in my opinion. Of course I would love to see it come off faster, but this rate is the safest way to go and the BEST news is that I am not done by a long shot!!!:thumbup:

Keep up the GREAT work and only compare yourself to YOU!!!

All the best :redface:
