I weigh in weekly and plan on posting here to keep me focused. If anybody else wants to post their losses on fridays with me feel free. I figure the more the merrier and we can cheer each other on as we start climbing back down the scale! Personally I find Fridays help keep me focused over the weekends.

269 for me......

I am at 216 today. I think that is a slight gain but started back on real foods this week.

Hi I am 194.4 today. Started 204- surgery was 4/30.

291

Okay, so I figured I would be dropping weight like mad because I'm not eating nearly as much as I usually do. But, Band_Groupie is right, I think my body is in starvation mode right now. Anyway, I lost .2 lbs, I'm down to 201. On Wednesday, I weighed and I was 199.2, but I knew that was short lived and that our bodies fluctuate so much. I'm only going to weigh on Fridays from here on out!

Hi Everyone,

I was banded on Tuesday, and today weighed in at 255.8. I can't remember what it was last Friday, but I know this is down a few pounds.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi I am 265. I have been staying pretty steady. I am on my last week of liquids! Woo hoo!

I really thought I would loose more on the liquids protion of the post op. I have not had a scale victory, but I have had none scale victories. Anyone else!?

Even thought the lbs or kg's are not dropping off, I as well as my hubby, and co-workers have noticed a change in how my cloths fit. All my clothes are feeling loose and that makes me feel like a success when the scale isn't moving!

Plus, I have not gained the pre-op weight back so that makes me feel good to. I have a couple weeks between the liquid diet and my first fill. I am hoping to stay steady then too. My Dr. says 6-8 weeks between the surgery and 1st fill. Waiting is the hard part. BUT I know loosing is on the horizon!

Hi all,

I am 10 days post-op and 238 pounds. I guess I am off to a slow start. I found out today I have no fluid in my band.

Okay, I was banded 4/23 - had my two week check up today, at home I'm 249 - at the doctor's I'm 252 (jeans vs no jeans, lol) - I started at 269.

This is why I don't have a scale at home. I think it would give me false hope. Plus I would be on it every day.

LOL - I don't think it's false hope, I think my clothes weighed 3 lbs and I wasn't getting undressed for the doctor's scale - it's right next to the waiting room and there's no door!

PS. - I am bad about getting on everyday - I need to stop that!

I weighed in today at 244lbs...2lb gain :~( Oh well, next week will be better...I havent been getting in enough calories, protein, or water.

last week 213.4

this week 211.4

total loss of 2 ppunds

stayed the same from last week to this @@ i am so annoyed by that lol i know i should just be glad i didnt gain but that's not the way my warped mind works.

*fingers crossed* here's hoping next week is better and i'm a big ole loser!! lol
