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!!

YAY!! Finally broke out of the funk I was in and have now reached the lowest I have been since surgery! I was having such a hard time right before my first fill and gained about 5 lbs. I think I am on my way!!:thumbup::thumbup:

down 28 since July 25th. Not too shabby :cursing:

Marie, congrats on breaking through the "funk". I hope the same for me soon.

Steve, WTG! Very impressive weight loss to date.

Not to shabby that's fantastic. way to go BIG THUMBS UP :thumbup:

I am down 40 pds since July 4, but I cannot figure out how to change the ticker. I am so excited.

I guess I did something right, because the change shows on my ticker. YEAH!!!

Congratulations to all you losers!!!! I am down 40lbs from the start of this Quest on July 1st. I was banded on July 22nd. I will get my first fill, maybe, on Sept. 10th. I have not been hungry or sick. I feel as though something has clicked on in my brain....finally! That is where weight loss starts for all of us.

It looks like July was a great month for banding!

Well, I weighed this morning and I am down 29 lbs in 6 weeks and 2 SIZES SMALLER IN MY BLUE JEANS!!!! Can you tell I care more about my size than the weight loss?!:smile:

I'm STILL stalled on my weight loss. Hopefully when I get my 2nd fill next Tuesday, it will help me eat less. I am exercising almost daily (have had to take today off because my knee is killing me) but I think my calories are on the high side.... 1200 - 1500 a day. At least I'm not gaining and even though the scales haven't moved in weeks, my clothes are getting just a tad bit looser.

If those clothes are getting looser you are doing great! It sounds like you are maybe replacing fat with muscle. AND, I see you are in "ONEDERLAND"!!!! How awesome! Congratulations:thumbup:

Down 19lbs in 4 weeks. I'm happy, but I'm starting @ the Y and also starting a couch to 5K. I still feel I eat to much @ a sitting and hoping my second fill helps with that, but I can't complain because the scale keeps moving in the right direction just slowly.

Congrats to all!

I am down another 2.5 pounds this morning (I weigh on Monday's) to make 21 pounds total since surgery!!

Congrats, Boy i'm starting to feel left out, gained 2lbs last week and no loss this week and thank the stars no gain puts me back to only14lbs since surgery the other 13 was lost on 2wk pre op. so happy my first fill is tomarrow. and i start back at curves as soon as i get back from vacation(9/12) I know i'm gonna need a few fills but i'm really ready to get it started.

I am only down about 11 pounds (July22 bander) but I am only eating about 1200 calories a day. I just figure that my body needs time to adjust. I was always slow! I am eating way less than before so it will have to show up sometime.
