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:

:frown:I am getting so frustrated...I haven't lost any weight in almost a month. I have teetered from gaining +/- 2 lbs. I haven't had a fill yet and was banded on June 3 of this year...but I still have restriction at times. I can't ever eat breakfast...to tight so I was drinking the equate brand shakes and added a banana and splenda with a dash of vanilla and blend up with ice for bfst...but I think maybe that was actually hurting me..I don't know I just know I am not losing. I have started walking 3 times a week and walk a min. of 2 miles..and thought that would help my flatline of weightloss..but it hasn't touched the scale. Pelple are telling me they think I have lost more, but I can't see it..at all. That ole'belly is still hanging low low low..hahaha. I am kind of afraid to get a fill because I am feeling restriction, but I know I am able to eat more then I should...but am afraid once I get the fill it will be horrible. I do PB and slime still and so I don't want to make it worse. Any help from someone has been there would be greatly appreciated...Thanks guys....

I have been there, and I can sympathize with you. Start writing down everything you put in your mouth...sometimes we are eating more than we think. Also, are you eating slow enough and taking small enough bites? Keep up the walking, maybe pick up the pace some and the amount you are walking. Just keep at it, you will get there!

Good luck, Joanie :thumbup:) :tt2:

Well, I am finally starting to lose again...Whoop!!!! just over a lb in 5 days, but I'll take it!!! 15lbs to go!!! I will do this!!!!

Well, I lost 2 lbs this week, which got me to my lowest weight since my banding.....Whoop!!!!

After years of fluctuating in the 230s and 250s, I finally made it to the 220s! I'm excited!

I started the daily plate.com and wow I was eating to many calories..and didn't even realize it. I still need a fill because the hunger pangs are coming back..and that is why I am eating because I am feeling hunger. I have added some jogging..and I use that loosly.....more like a FAST walk..hahaha. I am going to schedule my fill and go from there. Thanks for the Dailyplate info. It really has helped me shed some light on my choices...amazing...and to think I was eating like 3 times that before..no wonder I was FAT now I am just a little chubby..or so I like to think....at anyrate it will be weight I will never see again. Adios for good.

I had never heard of thedailyplate.com . I am going to that site now and see what it's all about. I'm pretty sure that I'm eating more than I should be, even though i try to keep track of everything.

Thanx!!! Joanie :wub:)

71 as of this morning!!!!!

I love the daily plate site. I started using it to track my protien but love all the info there and how it presents it, so easy to use.

I must be either eating too much or the wrong things. That scale won't budge! I know i am losing inches though.

Hey, all~

It's been a while, but wanted to check in with you all & see how everyone is doing! It's been a pretty amazing journey thus far. I'm hovering right at around teh 200# mark & eager to break that barrier (201.3 to be exact). Anyway, would love to hear how the May 2008 bandsters are doing :wink2: Take care all!!!

Awesome, job!! Keep up the great job!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

I didn't lose any weight for a whole month. 2 fills later I am beginning to lose again. Down about 36 since surgery but overall down 70 from high point. Now if I lose another 100 I'll be sizzling hot :wink2:

OMG!! I am losing great again and am down to 74 lbs!!!!!! I can't believe it and am so thrilled.
