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:

WoW great job!!! I have only lost 53lbs you keep going... we will have our year anniversary before we know it.. I had it the same day

Congtatulations Long2bthin -

This is a major! You deserve it as I'm sure you worked hard to get here in only 8 months. Great work. How did you do it? Today is my bandaversary and I'm down 84lbs; it took me a year. So if you have any suggestions please let me know. May other wonderful things happen to you also.

I've lost 53 lbs. YAY!

Thanks Bandana, congrats to you too. As for how I did it, I've been super strict about following the 'rules of the tool' they gave me. Eat 5 mini meals a day of 1/2 cup portions and protein first, and exercise. The exercise wasn't much at first but have been gradually increasing it all along. Plus I had a lot to lose so think that helps too vs someone who has less to lose. And lots of prayer!!

Woo Hoo am down 48.4 lbs since June of 08. I know it's SLOW going, but it's going and that's the point. WOOOHOO. I can't wait until I can get to that 100lb loss mark. Great job fellow bandsters.

I am down 83 with 16 left to go! I just fit into a size six and just bought my first bikini for my cruise in 23 days. Thought another country would be a good place to try it out!

I am also hoping to loose all my weight by my bandiversary. Keep up the good work everyone. I too just hit the "normal range!"

Hey Banfan!

I live south of the DFW area. I'm cheering you on!!

Long2B!

Wow 100 pounds! What an accomplishment! You should be very proud. I am so excited for for you!! Wow!
