Weight loss totals for the December bunch?



Recommended Posts

Do you guys want to keep track of our weight loss? We can all post our band date and how much we've lost since surgery (not including pre-op, since some people have 6 month pre-ops and others have none at all).

If anyone knows how to do a spreadsheet they can post in in a spreadsheet. (Sorry guys, I have no clue how.) We can periodicaly update the list from time to time. I think it would be interesting to see how different people are doing as the year goes by. Or we could just keep a running total and always copy and paste the list into your reply, changing only your own weight loss.

What do you think?

ETA: Why not, we can also include pre-op weightloss, as a separate category, since so many pre-ops might look to us to see what they can expect on their pre-op diets. (Doesn't hurt to be helpful.)

Name:

Band date:

Weight lost pre-op: (on the pre-opdiet)

Weight lost since banding:

Total weight lost:

Name: dietpeach

Band date: 12/5/08

Weight lost pre-op: 20 lbs

Weight lost to date: 20.5 lbs

Total weight lost: 40.5 lbs

See, then you can add your own to the list by copying and pasting.

I know many December bandsters will have small numbers since it's only February, especially those banded the last week of December. (I was banded the first week, so I've lost a bit more.) But if we start tracking now we can have a nice record through the year.

Welcome to our little corner dietpeach. We actually already have a spreadsheet going and I'd be happy to add your info. We are also doing a monthly challenge on the same spreadsheet if you want to participate just let us know. The link to the spreadsheet is in my signature ~ How low can you go....

the info we have is

highest weight

preop diet starting weight

surgery weight

current weight

then it tracks you total weight lost along with weight lost since surgery.

then on the monthly challenges

we ask for goal you want to lose for the month (ie: 10 lbs)

and your starting weight and then you weigh once a week and we've been posting that on this thread

Thanks for the welcome. I guess I've been MIA from this board. That's good - it means I've bneen busy enjoying life with my band. LOL Glad to know there already is a spreadsheet. I looked to see if there was already one going, but I didn't see it. (I didn't think to look in the challenge thread.)

Anyway, you can add my data if you want, but a challenge thread demands more of a day-to-day ongoing commitment to a group, and I don't have time for it unfortunately. Would it be okay to pop in one every month or so to update my numbers, even if I can't commit to the challenge?

Banded 12/17/08.

I am down 45 lbs. Been hanging here for 2 weeks.

I walk with Leslie Sansone 3-5 times a week and do Caribbean workout the other days.

As I tell everyone. It's not about how I look. It's about how

I feel...and I feel fantastic.

Banded 12/19/08.

I've lost 65 pounds as of this morning. No fills yet. I have to admit, I haven't been exercising, but I know I need to start. Other than that, I've been doing exactly what I'm supposed to do and feel great.

Banded: 12/19/2008

Starting weight: 215

Current Weight: 169

Total Weight Loss: 46 lbs.

I just now had my 2nd fill and now have 4.6 cc in my band. I have had a super long road. I had 2 surgeries since my lap band so I havent been able to be filled nor do exercises, so Im really proud of myself for managing to still lose some weight since these surgeries. It sure looks like everyone else is doing a fantastic job as well. Keep up the awesome work everyone...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
