I believe I had lost @ 20 lbs the first two months. I was banded on the 29th of August, 08. I have now lost 43 lbs. It doesn't sound like much, but I went from 230 to 187 which was a size 20 down to a size 12 as of yesterday. I feel great and I consider it all a work in progress. I still have work to do with @ 40 more lbs to go.

I lost 32 pounds pre-op and until this week had not lost another ounce. Surgery was February 10. But I've lost 3 pounds this week. But I was told that the first 3-4 weeks after surgery you shouldn't even expect any weight loss because you are healing, drinking and then eating really weird stuff that wasn't necessarily things you'd be eating once you transitioned to "regular diet." I probably would have lost more but last week, I was on a cruise and I was happy to just not gain anything. I have a personal short-term goal to lose 17 more pounds by June 12 (my 40th high school reunion is on June 12-13). Maybe unreasonable. Maybe not. But HERE GOES!

I lost 35 lbs from the day of surgery to 2 months post op.
