I am down to 210. Hope it keeps moving

Hi all --my current weight is 255.

Hello everyone, I had surgery on 11/24 and this is my first time on the site. Please include my stats on the spreadsheet:

Surgery date 11/24

Highest Weight 273

Preop diet starting weight 265

Surgery weight (Your weight the day of surgery) 254

Current weight 245

Goal weight 150

I am moving in slow motion and have had a few difficulties with my fills. I think I'm back on track now and headed in for another fill this week. If anyone has words of wisdom, what's working for you, etc. I would really appreciate it. I have virtually no support and am in need of help and encouragement!

We were banded on the same day & I'm down 33.5.

Can I ask what you're doing? Do you weigh out every portion? I only lost .5 last week. I've been walking using my walk aerobics tapes 6 days a week. doing between 3-4 miles a day. This hasn't helped my loss one bit.

I'm going in for my second fill 3/4.

Our 25th wedding anniversary is 3/23. I'd hoped to be down 50 by then but don't think I'll make it at this rate....

Have faith! I have only lost 5 lbs this last month. I seemed really tight for the first couple of months, sometimes water would not go down. I have not weighed out my portions(slapping wrist) but I have not been able to eat that much. Some days are worse than others for whatever reason. My weightloss really slowed when I started exercising too. Now lately I have been able to consume way too much. Time for my second fill...I hope this does the trick. I am down to 215.8. Officially 50lbs lost. But this weight is what I was for years...so I am expecting a battle to get past here. I am constantly surprised that I have been able to lose weight consistently without feeling deprived. I bet you will see a difference with your fill.

down to 215.8...thanks for posting!

Hi Everyone!

Its been a while since I've posted! My weight loss is slow, but its finally coming off...I've had two fills so far, this last fill (Feb. 8th) has helped me loose 7lbs over the last few weeks...all of January through most of February my weight flucutated by two or three pounds...I would gain it, then loose it, then gain it again! So this last fill has really helped...I go again in a couple of weeks, not sure about another fill though...we'll see what the nurse says!

My current weight is 230.5.

Your all doing so great!!!!! Congrats on all of your weight losses!

Updated to here. I am checkin' in at a whoppin' 201.4 today as well! I am so close to onederland, I can taste it! I am on a three day fast so, perhaps, I will slide in under 200 in a day or two.

I see the doc tomorrow. I have not been this low in weight in a long long time and am so excited!

Congrats to all on how well everyone is doing! I am so proud of us all! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much, I'm excited about having a network of people from which to share ideas and encouragement!

Wow everyone on this site is so awesome and inspiring!! I was banded Nov 17th 2008 I have lost a total of 50lbs . I feel so much better already. Although it is going slow as Dr Geiss likes it I see some of your weightloss numbers and what am I doing wrong..I have not yet had a fill as they said if I am maintaining a weightloss then I do not need a fill....

Thanks,

Bobbi, your doing AWESOME!!! 50lbs lost since Nov. 17, 2008 with NO FILL??? I think that's pretty incredible and definitely not slow...I had my surgery with Dr. Geiss on Nov. 20th and I'm down 29.5lbs...I wish it was 50lbs!!! I'll get there, in time...I've already had two fills, but my first fill really didn't do anything for me...I would loose and gain the same 2-3lbs from January through most of February, it was very frustrating...but after I got my second fill in February, I'm now down another 7lbs, so I'm very excited! My next appointment at Geiss's office is coming up in another week..so we'll see what they say!

I just wanted to say that I think your doing FANTASTIC and must be so proud of yourself! Keep up the great work:thumbup:

Updating my stats.....

I'm at 215, so down 46 pounds. I just had my 3rd fill....exercise going well, etc. I just saw my surgeon and asked if I was doing ok. He said I've lost 30% of my body weight, and he typically likes to see about 25% by this point, so I'm doing well! Yay!:laugh:

207 today at my three month check up!
