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.

Today is my first post on Friday Weigh In. This week I've lost 6.5 lbs. Woo Hoo. I'm finally able to walk without pain.

4/10 - 9 lbs,

4/17 - 1.5,

4/24 - 3,

5/1 - .5,

5/8 - 2,

5/15 - 1.5,

5/22 - 3,

5/29 - 0,

6/5 - 1,

6/12 - 6.5

274. I'm down 5.5 lbs this week. Yippee.

Of course I had my first fill Tues so I've been on liquids and mushies. Hope this trend keeps up as I transition back to real food though. A few more ponuds and my BMI will be under 40. :thumbdown:

210.5 -First gain week since surgery and I did it in a big way...gained everything back that I lost last week after my first fill. Time to call the doc and see if I can get in earlier than 7 weeks (between fills)...bummer.

Stress, bad food choices and lack of excerise caught up with me. I'm up 4 lbs from last week. Not good not good at all! You play you pay and I'm paying!

284, yuk, yuk, yuk!:thumbdown:

I am down to 263.6 from 266.8 WOOO HOO that is 3.2 lbs! I leave for Vacation ( actully just going home to AZ ) on Thursday of next week soooo hopefully I wont come back with a gain..

I am at 211.4 this week. Going for my 4th fill next Tuesday and hoping for restriction.

down 5.2 this week. first fill on 6/9

Ughhhh! I'm standing steady at 267lbs. I now have 5.5cc's but still don't feel the restriction, except for one time when I ate SUPER fast and almost lost it. Just "keep on swimming", I guess!

I stayed the same this week 261 :thumbdown:

I am at 235.4 today. Had alot of work to do this week, because last weekend, I GAINED 2 lbs between Friday and Monday (Can you say Cold Stone Creamery and TGIFridays in the same day???) Yes, you play, you pay.

I get my first fill next Thursday. Have a good week everyone!

Hi everybody

I am at 283 from 280 but I am not stressing about it. I had a rough 10 days just prior to this week where I was on mostly liquids and very little food and lost 16.6 pounds over those 10 days so now, after an unfill, I am eating real food again and have gained a few back :confused: trying to stay on track - going to workout in the morning.

Love to the group!

Down 1 pound to 196, but my hairdresser just told me my hair is falling out at an alarming rate. She suggested I get my thyroid check. I know it is from the lapband band and the weight loss. AAAAGGGGGHHHHH :confused: Anyone have suggestion on vitmans?

I think it's Biotin? that people take, but before you freak out know that the anesthetic we all had at surgery will cause hair loss approximately 3 months post-op. I had hair loss after my hysterectomy also...it will grow back.

WHY?! Can't that hair fall out on our legs, underarms, bikini line or UPPER LIP? Yeah...just don't understand it.

I'm down 1.5lbs or maybe just 0.5. It's been the same so long I can't remember :drool:

Hi Jersey

What's your preband weight so I can add you to the spreadsheet? Just so you know if you post your weekly weight rather than your weekly loss its much easier for me to update the sheet! otherwise I have to use my brain and a calculator. hahaha:scared2: (also if you give me height & goal weight I can add you to the BMI part!)

Don't sweat it BG. You have done so well so far, these are only bumps in the road!!

Hey Kate, you may have posted this before but what was your pre-band weight? Also if you tell me your height and your goal weight in lb I can set up the BMI part of the sheet for you (nerdy I know!!:tongue:)

I have heard many stories about this and was really scared of it happening to me - may still do!!! Some people reckon its the stress of surgery, some reckon it's not enough Protein. I'd try making sure you take your multivite and eat your protein first so you can fit as much in as possible. Other than that - get a cool hat for the next three months!!!! :tongue_smilie: xxxxx

Hey Shelly, whats your actual weight this week - as I have 249 as last week's weight.
