Hi everyone, I was just curious to see how everyone is doing weightwise. So, I'd like to know, what is your surgery date, and how much have you lost SINCE surgery, not including the pre op dieting. Thanks and best of luck to everyone! :wink:

My date: May 20, 2009

Weight loss since: 10.5 lbs

Surgery Date: May 19th

Weight Loss Preop: 18lbs (2 week Pre-op Liquid Diet)

Weight Loss Postop: 14lbs (2 week Post-op Liquid Diet)

Total Weight Loss To Date: 32lbs :bored:

Hi, everyone!

My goodness... am I glad this thread was started! I've actually been in hiding and haven't dared to visit the site in about a month because my weightloss has stalled and I felt like a total failure. I knew to expect bandster hell, but I somehow envisioned that everyone that was banded in May had already lost like 40-50 pounds, unlike myself. I know, ridiculous!

Well, today something in me told me to just "face the music" and visit the site (if at least for inspiration). So I'm really relieved that my weight loss so far isn't too, too, too bad. If anything, I guess I'm pretty much average. (JUST TOOK A DEEP EXHALE)... The great thing is that I'm not alone in this, and I musn't forget that. It could be better, but it could be worse.

Whew, I feel "normal" again. Thanks for your posts, everyone. You all have NO idea how much your honest, simple responses have restored my hope. And so we chug along... one day at a time

you are right we are all differant and our bodies react differantly. I was stuck for a week and a half and then gained 3 lbs back. but this week I lost those 3 lbs and an additional 2!! our bodies are strange and we are all learning how to live this new life of a banster and what does and doesn't work for each of us. Im glad you checked in and feel better about your weightloss. Keep striving forward and you will do great!!!:thumbup:
