I thought it might be fun to start a thread to report on our weight losses so far. June is half over so we are about half banded. It would be exciting to see and motivating for those yet to be banded. Counting your pre op liquid diet, if you had one until now how much have you lost so far??

For me I started losing as I started researching bariatric surgery and lost 10 lbs by the time I went to my seminar, but from the time of my first consult appt. with my surgeon and now 9 days post op I lost 22 more. For a total of 32 lbs. but not sure if I should call it 32 or 22, either way it's good. And might as well count from my highest! LOL

I haven't been here for a while. I was at 55 lbs right before Xmas, then gained 3 lbs. Got that off and now since the first (Today is the 7th Wed.) I have lost two more. EEE Ha ha. I try to get out of exercise every now and then but I am back at it.

96!!!!!!!!

43 pounds! I thought I would have lost more at this point, but at least I have not gained!

Iam so proud of you all.....I am such a slow loser and depressed...I have only lost 26 pounds since June 12th...

WOO HOO!! No longer obese, now in the overweight category with my BMI!!! I am at 104 lbs lost!!

63 pounds and I hit Onderland!

I was at 30 pounds off in September..I left spain (and my surgeon) and haven't had a fill since... I gained 10 pounds up to Christmas.. and wondered if I would ever get back into this whole thing. I go back to Spain in June and wanted to show my surgeon what I have achieved... still looking for a fill dr who will take me... very hard ...

BUT... I have just lost 14 pounds in 5 days.. and it isn't band related.. My boyfriend and I broke up one week ago... my life has been turned upside down... and then 3 days ago I found out that I may never get my Australian Permanent Residency visa even though I lodged it a year ago and have been trying to do it for 13 years...

..... no appetite... I didn't eat for 5 days.. and only have just started on a slim fast can a day.... just can't face food (maybe my breakthrough.. the first time I haven't turned to food in a crisis).....

not a healthy way I know.. but hey.. am 33 pounds down now..and want to keep it going now I have had the kick (in the heart) start that I needed again...

well done all..

107 pounds!!!

Kizzie my heart goes out to you! I hope it all works out xoxo

thanks Allie.. and well done you.. I had my band two days before you, so you are an inspiration..... getting over my heartache.. slowly.. day by day... still in total shock.. but life has to go on.. I have walked between 3 and 8 miles everyday since last Thursday (Sunday -the day he dumped me- to Wednesday I have no memory.. )... so hoping this is it now...

Good luck all.. everyone is doing so well..

Kizzie

so sorry to hear you are broken-hearted kizzie! i hope you feel a little better each day. and you really have to eat some nutrition or you'll be very weak and you'll feel even worse!

Ahhh, Kizzie, sorry to hear of your broken heart. He doesn't know what he had when he let you go. Hope your visa/residency works out. What a global life you lead with Spain, US and Australia. Do you travel for your job??
