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:

Im at 26lbs gone since pre-op I had my surgery May 28th. I was scheduled for my second fill on July 22, however i had a unexpected surprise I was pregnant. I cancelled the fill of course and actually only fluctuated about 2lbs back and forth. :whatchutalkingabout This past weekend I started to misscarry. We were totally devistated, I've been Preg. 5 times and have 1 precious 4 year old. I have found in the past if I focus on other things it gets me through the sadness. 4 yr olds tend to ask alot of questions when they see mommy crying. I'm going to call Monday and get an appointment for my fill. Maybe focusing an my weight loss will help. Sorry I didn't intend on unloading all this on this particular thread. You all are doing great keep up the good work!!!

I did it! I hit the 40lb mark today!:biggrin2:

I had my 2nd fill a week and 1/2 ago, but it didn't start to set in until a few days ago. I get full really fast! Like 2-3oz fast! YIPPEEEEE!!!

5 more lbs and I've "lost" my 4 year old daughter!!! :thumbup: WOOHOO!!!

I can't carry her around- why was I able to carry all that weight before? My poor heart, my poor back and my poor feet...

OMG- what will 40 more feel like???

Congrats to all - let's keep up the great work... :biggrin:

I hit 56!! Since my gall bladder surgery the weight loss has really kicked in. AT least there was some reward for going through that! :thumbup: Well that and the no more deep pain in my right side! :biggrin:

My ticker says it all for me!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! i lost 2 pounds...i guess i broke the plat' thing havent lost in a month well ups and downs this time i lost and didnt gain..imma cry now

Down 30 pounds since starting the pre-surgery diet. 4 of those pounds have been this week since my 3rd fill. Not sure if I might be a little too tight or if this is my sweet spot. I have not PB'd or slimed since surgery. I gurgle & burp though more since this fill. No reflux during the night like I've read some people have when they're too tight so I'm gonna stay with this fill for now.
