hi all thought that we could start a mini weightloss challenge here for the new years. you know give each other support and have fun at the same time. say a simular one on another thread.

so here goes im china and i will be banded on 12-15-08 and my mini goal is 10lbs. hope others join in:thumbup:

ok thanks gone stick with it.

Yes, my throat was sore. It is from the pipe they put down your throat to help you breath. It doesn't last long. Your throat is just irritated because it was dry. Just keep drinking warm liquids.

Glad to hear you are doing well after surgery.

So today is my 2 week anniversary from surgery. Ok so that means it time to weigh myself. I stepped on the scale and booya! 423.0lbs I lost another 11.8 lbs!!!! I am down 23.6lbs for December so far! And this means I have lost 19.2lbs since I got the band! So I beat my December goal already!!! I guess I should now bump my goal up like another 10 lbs so now my new goal January 1 will be 30 lbs lost. Woot!

good job pete tell me how much where you at surgery. how much have you lost since surgery. i have been doing alright since surgery just tryin to get the liquids in but, cant get in over 32ozs. but, its something. i go on tuesday for my 1wk appointment. so i will post what my weight is then. good luck everyone and keep up the bood work.

also good luck jewel41 your in my prays that god will watch and protect over you and give you a speedy recovery. amen.

Hi China!

I have lost 19.2 lbs since my surgery. So in two weeks I lost that much! I am able to get plenty of liquid down and have bumped up the walking. Tomorrow I get to start mushies so we'll see how that part of the diet goes. I am excited to move forward with my weight loss and love seeing how everyone is doing too!

hi pete,

i go for my one wk. weigh in on tuesay. i have not bothered to get on the scale as i want to be suprised. i do wonder how much if any have i lost.

Hi China,

I know what you mean about wanting to be surprised. I refuse to weigh myself more then once a week. I know for fact that your body weight fluctuates from day to do so weighing yourself more then once a week is almost defeating in itself. I knew I had lost this week but I made sure to wait. Not to mention it's just cool stepping onto the scale and going "Wow!" lol

yes that is a great feeling. im getting excited wondering if i have lost or what. my mom says my face is smaller but, you know family will tell you things like that.:tongue_smilie:

I know what you mean. It almost ment more to me when one of the guys I work with told me yesterday that he can see a little bit of a difference in me.
