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:

Please see ticker.... sigh.. I will try harder :wink_smile:

I've been missing in action for a few weeks...so I decided to join my May Bandster buddies again. I'm currently down 42 pounds. It's been fluxuating for a few weeks and that's so frustrating to me. I signed up for water aerobics starting on Monday. Hopefully that will push me through this plateau.

Not much of a loss but a loss just the same. Another .2 lbs gone forever!!

see ticker:thumbup:

OMG!!!! I went to get dressed for church Sunday evening. Put a pair of elastic knit pants on, fell off my hip. Then a pair of capris that buttoned...fell of my hips. I'm in a hurry, can't find anythign to wear...another pair of capris that buttoned, fell off too. What's going on?? I hopped on my scales...well, my 192 from Weds before is NOW a 187.....so I had to crab a winter pair of 16's pant...running out the door, my daughter laughs..."mom, those are too big too!"

Oh boy, I go on a cruise in December so I need some capris...but what size do I get before the clearance racks disappear??!!!!!

This is actually way too fun!!

That is so exciting. Congratulations.

I love to pull something out of my closet that use to be to small just to see if it might possibly fit now-and its already to BIG!!! I love that feeling-ENJOY that feeling!:embaressed_smile:

It is so funny how the scale may not move, but the clothes fall off, then the next day, the scale drops again! This is a wonderful new life!!! Read the ticker below!!!!

See the ticker....hang in there everyone!

Kudos to all!!!!!

YEA MzReeda!!!!!!!!

I'm stuck...I'm down 41 pounds and haven't lost anything in 3 weeks. I'm pissed. I'm going to aerobics two days a week and my clothes are getting baggier but the weight just isn't coming off. I'm proud of the 41 pounds...but it's so frustrating that it's not coming off even with a strict diet.

Are you measuring your inches? I do mine once a month. I haven't lost much pound wise, but I have lost inches.

I can go 3wks with no change. Don't let it try to bother you so much. take into account some things here...are you around your mensus time? how's your protein, water, carb, sugar intake? And more importantly, like Carrie asked, how's the inches? We can lose wgt, but our skin and muscles have to have their time too to play catch-up!!

I think 41lbs is a great accomplishment when compared to 15...20, etc!!! Job WELL DONE!!!

hope everyone's doing well!

i'm down 3lbs :thumbup:
