I saw a similar thread by the May bandsters. I think the Butterflies should let each other know how much we lose! I know that the month isn't over yet, but those of us that are banded, or are doing preop diets should have somewhere to share our success!!!

I'll start. I have lost 13.5 lbs. since starting the preop diet!!!:eek::thumbup:

Please share!!

I wasn't really required to do a pre-op diet, except clear liquids the day before surgery. Including the liquid diet starting Monday July 7th, I have lost right at 14 pounds. I am so excited. I don't get my first fill until the 21st, which can't come soon enough!

Congrats on your loss so far! :thumbup::thumbup:

Congrats!

I also had no preop diet. I have lost 13 lbs since my preop appt weigh in at the dietitian. I have probably lost more than that since surgery since my surgery day weight was probably higher than the preop weight 11 days earlier, because I ate anything and everything that didn't eat me first before surgery!!!!! I am eating mushies now, but I am not nearly consuming enough calories. I also began going to the gym 3 days ago.

Except for maybe the gas, heheh. Total lost since beginning the pre-op in May (my doctor required liquid 1 1/2 mos prior!) 50 pounds!!! :biggrin: Surgery date 7/2/08. First fill is monday, July 28, 2008. Am STARVING lately, so I am looking forward to the fill. Afraid to start mushies, so I am waiting until after the fill appointment. Still doing liquids...I miss chewing!

Holy crap is what I think too... am on a bit of a stall, but I expect that is normal. I still marvel at the fact that I have lost 1/3 of what I want to already. I consider myself lucky, to be sure.

I'm down 14 lbs from surgery day

Congratz blaze!!! Good Job!!!!

Down 18 pounds! And I will NEVER see them again :tt2:

Well done everybody, amazing weight loss stories there. I am 10 days banded and down 7 kilos which I think is about 13 pounds so am pleased with that. Sim
