hey love, looking good as always! congrats on your 100lbs weight lost! keep up the good work u look amazing! im proud of you

It's been 3 months for my and I am losing about 9 pounds a month. I had 4 weeks where I lost nothing but just kept my chin up. As long as I don't gain, I am happy.

Memorial day...to date I have lost 74 lbs. Life is getting better by the day. Can't ask for better than that. Weight loss is slower powst-op than I thoguht, but the weight did not come on overnight, so what can I expect? I am working out 3 days per week, mostly water aerobics. Only 3 times that I have had food stuck and it made me sick, so now I am being extra careful. I want to succeed and have no isses. I want to be at goal I by Christmas. I have redone my wardrobe already once, and getting ready to do it again within the next month.

It's good to know you're alive. I'm addicted to a few FB games myself, mainly CW. How are you loving your band? I was just thinking, my weight loss has been slow since getting it, but at least I'm not gaining, so I can't and won't complain.

Hey, How are you doing? My weight loss has pretty much stopped :-( I cant wait for a fill!

Hey there! I was wondering how the weight loss is coming? Anything I can help with?

Hi there! Just wanted to see how you're doing after your Dr. visit? I agree with the others that you were/are too tight, but I'm sure your Doc figured it out and you're back on track. They call what you described 'soft food syndrome' and it's typical not to lose weight when you're eating sliders as the Band is meant to work with solid protein/etc.

Hope the Doc got you back on track and thanks for the lovely comment/info. -BG

Congrats on your weight loss....... Can u give me some examples of your daily food intake?

Thanks for the encouragement!! I guess sometimes I just want the weight to just fall off!! Wouldn't that be nice,huh?? I just have to re-focus & get moving!!

Thank you mickeyshart for the reply, I had my surgery on the 17th and it went perfect I am 5 day out now but still of course recovering. I'm down already 14 lbs from being on the liquid fast alone. You're right he doesn't talk much but he is absolutely great! Having gone through the surgery with him, now I can say I really like him alot and feel totally safe and comfortable with him. Thanks again.

And goodluck on your new journey!!! Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Hi, you commented on my blog for which I thank you. It really makes things easier for me to write - as they say in our educational meetings journaling is important, so I blog instead. This is a great site.

I wanted to wish you the best of luck. You are where I can't wait to be! How are you doing, so far? Are you on a liquid diet? I'm a little nervous about the whole surgery thing, but I have confidence in my surgeon that it will go alright. I need to lose this weight and this is the only way it is going to happen. Please feel free to reply to me any time. Again, the best of luck to you.

Hi! My name is Angela. I was banded on May 5th by Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver, Colorado. Starting weight was 212. As of May 11th I am down to 186!

hi did you get banned how did you go who did you get to do it how much did it cost you hows your weight loss going

I have not been on in many months. just 4 months after my banding and more than 50 pounds down I GOT PREGNANT!! although its a blessing i was ,... depressed ,.. i had paid all this money and really ready to loose the weight,.. i feel a little better now,.. getting my mind right!! the baby is due 7/27

Well for my meals i do make healthy food choices, and as for my protein intake i make sure that every meal i have has some type of protein, so that does include 2 protein shakes a day, but if i don't drink my shakes i get tempted to eat more during my meals... i feel i have no restriction though so i cant wait till i get a fill. My weight is still the same for past two weeks i also workout 3 x a week on the elliptical for 30 min and do weights as well... so that is why i am getting a little discourage...so will see i am hanging in there!!

Hey! I was suppose to be on a liquid diet for two weeks but I started eating soft foods 5 days early. The doctor himself said most people can not wait that long. I did see that if you eat mash potatoes that can be filling for you if your still on liquids and all. I first tried scrambled eggs. Now I can eat just about anything but I watch my porportions. I get filled monday and can't wait. I have lost so far close to 25 pounds all together! Hoping that I don't gain any of it back by next monday!

I know what your saying....my appetite has increased, but still not what it was so I do feel some benefit of feeling full with the fill, but only because I visually look at what I'm eating and saying I should only eat this amount because once i get it filled it will be harder to eat only 1/2 cup of food. My doctor didn't really put any restriction on my food really, but just said my biggest battle between now and my first fill is not to gain the weight I've lost so far....and so far I've been able to hold study, but mon thru fri I go on the treadmill and walk at least 2.25 miles so. Now I'm just trying to make good food choices. Only really getting in a protein drink in the morning and the half of a protein drink mid afternoon if I'm luck on that second one! So how is your days like as far as protein intake and all? My next appt is the 24th hoping thats when I will get my first fill!

Surgery finally happened Tuesday 1/26, then my wonderful insurance company made me wait 90 days to get my first fill. Finally May 10th arrived and I got my fill which i had waited for so long...Now I dont know if its working or not...Have had no trouble eating anything, still dont feel full, have careful of what I eat, only because Im afraid to not chew chew chew trying not to get anything stuck... Not really sure how Im suppose to be feeling now...My weight loss has been so minimal. 8 lbs since January....shouldnt it be more? Not sure what Im doing wrong? ANybody have any suggesitons???

Wow, you sound good.. Things sound normal from what I have read, however my banding is not until this Thursday, so I am alittle nervous, excited and been reading up on the expectations. So today is Saturday the 15th, how are you feeling now? Lost any weight? How much do you have to lose? I am in California and I have about 75 to lose, but hoping it will be closer to 70 by operation day.. Keep in touch

Thanks so much for your always sweet and encouraging words. I too was so scared, but now with the weight off, I am very excited and super hyped about trying NEW and scary things. I am a risk taker when I NEVER would have been before. Will post lots of pics when I return! God Bless You!

Hi Newmsa

I am 5'5" and went into surgery at 201 so a BMI of about 34. Tried and tried and tried and just couldn't change my eating habits for long, couldn't stop at just 1 or 2 cookies. This surgery forces me to do just that. I have lost 10 lbs within the first 10 days and know it is slowing so am staying away from the scales. Need to start exercising to get it moving again. Food is 80% of weight loss. I used to do a serious boot camp 5 days a week and didn't lose a bit - just goes to show.

wow you look so great on you r weight lose ! congrats.
