Hi all ...

lets start our Running Weight loss forum

Post a message here with the amount of weight you've lost in your banding journey and I'll add it to the totals below.

Your update message will be deleted after it's incorporated.

Lets keep it in Pounds since it is what the majority uses and see how many pounds we will all lose in a year ...

Let our journey begin

there you go dear ,,, updated ... it is one of those numbers i love to increase ....

I have lost 26lbs since surgery.It's been slow but at least I'm not gaining!

Hang in there Debbie - you're doing great even without a lot of restriction. I've only had one fill so far, turned down the chance of a second at my last visit because I didn't want to not be able to eat at Christmas (some of my family don't know I had the band) and then I couldn't eat anyway because I was sick. I get my next fill on Tuesday. It takes a lot of "will power" some days to stay the course, but you've made it this far, and I'm willing to bet you can keep up the good work. :crying: Simone

Funny, just when you think you don't need this site, you have a bad weekend and you realize you need the support of people who understand. Thanks so much Simone. It is really hard right now. I am not eating things I shouldn't, but I am eating ALL my allowed Snacks. Well I wanted slow, I have it now. :frown: Debbie

Hey everyone! I just wanted to check in with my September Samurais and let y'all know that I've lost 50 lbs. I hope everyone else is doing fantastic!

changed from 48 to 50 lbs

Hi guys-

I have lost 33 pounds since surgery.

The holidays were not easy, but I lost one pound instead of gaining 5-10 pounds. YEAH!

2 fills = 4.5cc

Hi All. It is nice to come back and see how others banded the same time are doing. I struggled through the holidays too, but didnt gain. I'm losing slowly and sometimes get frustrated, but I know if I exercised more I'd have more success. Soo.. it's kind of my own fault! My total weight loss is now 32 pounds. I was hoping to hit 40 by my 40th birthday, but I don't think I'm going to make it. (Jan 5th) I'm getting there though..

I was banded on 9/26/08 and have lost 30 pounds as of today.

As of today... I am at 50lbs lost. I can't beleive this is working. Everyone is dong a great job. Congrats to us all and this year is going to bring big changes for all of us...

As of 1-7-09 down 41! Glad to see everyone is doing so well.

:tt2: I officially hate my scale! :cool2: I think it has it out for me! :mad: I don't know why, haven't I always avoided it at all costs over the years to prevent it from experiencing damage? After all, for years I went to great lengths to stay off of it, preventing it a lot of needless pain that might have been caused by my increasing size. :eek: Shouldn't it be a little gratefull!

Maybe it got lonely :crying:, or maybe it isn't use to all the attention I have shown it lately . Wouldn't you think it would be grateful that I weigh a whole lot less and it doesn't cry everytime I step on it?!?!?

I mean really, why can't we just be friends.

Well, it it is going to treat me that way, I think I shall just make friends with my mirror :rose:. We have been strangers far too long. :wub: And for the first time in my life I kind of like what I have been seeing lately....

A little tonge in cheek :ciappa: to brighten your day. Hope it brought a smile to your face. :grouphug:

I have lost over 60 pounds! I cannot believe the change in me! Take care Debbie

So now we are starting to lose some real weight and everyone's starting to notice. Do you think we should post some before and during pictures???

Down 20 lbs.

I have had some family set

backs which affected diet and exercise. Husband had a cardiac arrest in November, then to finish the year (everything in 3s), my father-in-law passed away on the 30th of Dec. :crying:

Thank goodness for a new year!:thumbup:

Dr. says I am on track for the weight loss with being a low BMIer. Back to exercising in the gym 5 days a week, riding my English Pleasure horse on both Sat & Sun, and cleaning the barn 6 days a week (need a day off once a week). Need to start riding the other show horse this week. :cool2:

:scared2: back to work for me.

Dotti

Dotti, I'm very sorry to hear all about your family difficulties, and I hope your husband is recovering well. My condolences to you for the loss of your father-in-law.

It's great that you're getting back on the horse, so to speak.

***I'm down 40 lbs!!***

down 40 pounds this week, and no longer morbidly obese!
