I have been on here one month and I have realized that most of the weight loss tickers are including weight loss from PRIOR to surgery. I want to know what others have lost SINCE DAY OF SURGERY??? My surgery was 7 days ago and I have lost 7 pounds!!! Thank you for sharing a little inspiration here:thumbup:

Wrong weight loss number.

Hi Dawn, I was 241 before I started the pre-op liquid diet (2 weeks of opti-fast). I lost 16 pounds on the pre-op diet, so that put me at 225 the morning of my surgery (May 22, 2008). I am now at 206. So 19 pounds in 2 months...I can't complain with that!!!

My ticker is wrong. I have to get my hubby to fix it for me.

Almost in one-derland!!!!! I can't wait. Good luck!!!

hmm, i didn't really lose any weight on the pre-op diet. Maybe one or two pounds. Day of surgery i was 277, today i am 199. Date of surgery was feb 28.

I lost 13lbs on the pre-op diet. My surgery was 12/7/07. I've lost 66lbs since surgery. Sounds like you are doing great so far!

I weighed 246lbs the morning of surgery... and today I weigh about 190lbs... So I've lost about 56lbs so far. My surgery was 12/26/07; that puts me at almost 7 months post-op. FYI: My weight loss has slowed a little in the last month or so, my doc says this is normal. Just remember to be patient and keep on truckin! :-)

Ok, can ya'll let me know what you are eating each day? How many calories--working out, not working out. I just had my 1 year anniversary, and I have lost only 25lbs. PLEASE give me some guidance and help...I'm not really happy, obviously, and pretty much am giving up on the band thing. I'm not working it right or something. thanks for the help in advance.

Hi:

I've lost 103 pounds since surgery day, 7/26/07. Started at 324. Lost 38 pounds pre-op. On surgery day I weighed 287. This morning I'm 184.

My scale is on "turtle" mode now. Oh well, I feel like a new person so I'm okay with the slower losses now.

Good luck.

Congrats Sue!! Can you give me some insight on how you lost the pounds so far? It would be great help to me.

Titancupcake....I am eating 1100 calories a day with 80g Protein. All the carbs I am eating are whole grain, I avoid potatoes, white rice etc. Isopure Zero Carb Protein Drinks really help with getting in the protein and they taste like Crystal Light.

I am not exercising yet due to my surgery was last week but I am starting on Monday and I am going to walk an hour a day to start with. All of you have done so well so far! I want to hear more?

Where do you get isopure protein drinks?

I purchase all of my drinks and liquid vitamins from Bodybuilding.com Click here for the exact drink that I like http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nb/drink.html. Delivery charge for one case of Isopure and my liquid vitamins (two bottles, one multi and one zinc/calcium) was only $6.99. I know that the Vitamin Shoppe and I think GNC also carries the Isopure Zero Carb Protein Drinks and I swear, they taste really good and they are 50g of protein per 20 oz. bottle and it is clear like Crystal Light, not thick and pasty like some.

titancupcake:

Following the basic bandster rules along with alot of exercise has been doing the trick for me. I exercise 4 times per day. I do two 1 mile walks with my walking buddies at work. During the noon lunch hour I either walk for 50 minutes or trikke from 30 to 50 minutes. Then again in the evening I exercise again - walk, walk the hill, or trikke again.

Good luck.

My one year anniversary will be this Sept 27th, so I'm pretty close to your time too. I eat 2100-2400 calories a day, and I work out 9 times a week. Yes, I double up on some days, but I have to because of my exercise goals for this year. Plan your meals out days or even weeks in advance and stick to them. I pack my Breakfast, lunch, and pre-workout dinner to take with me to work, and I have not visited a vending machine in almost a year. Keep a food log; keep an exercise log; and keep on trucking. :biggrin:

I have lost 38 pounds in 3 months since my surgery. I was 267 and now I am 229. I only do moderate exercise. I have set a goal of 9 pounds to lose per month.

Iam 22 days post op with 4cc's in a 10cc band and my weight loss since day of surgery is 13 1/2 lbs. I go saturday for 2 more cc's.
