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:

Congrations Thin That is amazing. WOW. Keep up the good work. 104 lbs is amazing.

Congrat to Mis Melis and Mom too,. That's great work. I'm down 89 lbs also. I'm having trouble staying there though, I'm fluctuating with these last pounds and can't wait till it's consistently down. But we'll get there!

Well, honestly, I put myself on a plateau since beginning of december. I basically stayed between 172-174. I even went back up to 178 during Christmas and New yrs due to too many "adult drinks"! I'm not at the least mad or upset about it all. This has really given my mind the time time to catch up with my body. But hey!! hopefully I can get and keep this going again for my last 20 or so lbs because today I'm at 169!!!!!

Congrats Brenda!! You are getting very close to your goal. I platued out during the holidays, however, my weight usually goes up during the holidays! So that is a step in the right directions!

Ok I will weigh in too, I have lost 72 pounds since band date as I do not include what I lost on pre band diet.I had a few months of being very slow or nothing at all but now I am moving again I hope it stays this way awhile I really want to lose a 100 pounds by my anniversary in May.

good work brenda

So far I have lost 62 pounds...I have hit so many plateau's it is frustrating!!!!! But I am trying to incorporate more working out but my schedule is so packed and crazy it's really hard....but I have 40 more pounds before I get to my goal and depending on what my body looks like, I will maybe try to lose more. But I am over halfway there, and hopefully will make the 100 mark by the 1 year anniversary. Congratulations to us all for making progress, and good luck on getting to goal!

Finally!

A new number!! Broke my recent platue... down another 4 pounds!! I dreamed of these numbers but I can't believe it is really happening!

Good luck Enigma! 100 is my goal too for my bandaversity. I think once we get closer to our goals we move from one platue to the next.

Down 121 lbs since 5/28/08 and I am in sight of my first goal which is to weigh less than 200lbs. Should be able to get there by tax day! I am so encouraged because my band is giving me what I hoped and that is a "fall-back" plan when I get frustrated or just plain want to pig-out. I really see it working as an essential tool for me and the one piece that has been missing in all my previous weight loss efforts. YAY for all of us!

I finally got past the 100lb mark. 101 lbs to be exact. haha! I still have 9 lbs to lose to get to my original goal, but I know now that I can get there!

Congrats to all of us!!!

I know we can do it. Thanks to our bands. Down 3lbs this week. I'm down 95 and now I need to make the 100lbs my next goal. Up to the last 30lbs of my journey. I hear this is the hardest

good work meliss

congratulations slow

Slow and steady wins the race!! Another .8 lbs for a total of 94.6 lbs!!!

113 lbs down for me so far....

Wow. I was feeling pretty good until I read all these posts. My 55lbs (now60lbs) sounds really sad. Am I doing something wrong?

Wow, everyone is doing so well. I'm kind of at a stop myself. I had to go in and get some fluid removed from my band because everything I ate was getting stuck. During that time of being over filled, I ate totally the wrong things like puddings, ice cream and anything else smooth that I could get down. I'm back on track now and just waiting for the scale to move. Congrats to everyone for such wonderful success.

good luck yukiko

we've all been there.
