One week away from my first consult! I hope I leave with a vague timeline for all of this...

Live, Love, Lapband: Week 51 Post-Op Weigh In https://t.co/SywlNJOxzg

14 weeks post op and 67 pounds gone since surgery! This is my first week losing 7 pounds in one week. Craziness. o.o

I purchased another pair of new jeans today! I have lost 30lbs in the past 6 weeks and the last pair are all baggy in the legs, gaped at the waist and baggy in the butt.

How very cool to read three women's updates, almost in a row, about downhill-rolling clothing sizes.

trying to keep from being down and out.. scale went up this past week.. What the heck!

I am finally in the 230s! I am down 35 lbs (22 since surgery 5 weeks ago)

wow where did the time go I only have one week and three days left that when fast ... really feeling nervous now

Week 4 Post-Op: Had my first egg today. It was super yummy!

9 weeks Post Op today. To celebrate, I decided to up the game. Instead of 15 minutes on the elliptical, I went 20, before my workout. Bam! WHEN IT'S GAME TIME, IT'S PAIN TIME, BABY!

Another stall... how wonderful....

Supposed to close on our houses (old and new) a week from today. Still have no official word on a move-in date. Really starting to stress over not being able to make plans.

Surpassed my 5 yr banddiversary last week. Woot!

Its been a week after my 2nd fill and I definitely get fuller with less food now, I can feel a little bit of more restriction but very little. I'm hoping 3rd time's the charm but we will see. I'm well aware it's different for all of us. On a side note my elliptical has made its way back into my bedroom. Hopefully I can make my way onto it

2 week appointment went well... cleared for exercise without lift and egg/yogurt/soft cheese in 6 days. Looking forward to chewing

One month and two weeks post op and got my second fill today. Im at 4cc's. i just got it so I havent eaten anything yet but Ill know in a few days how much restriction I feel.

2 weeks & 5 days post op and I'm doing great

Gatorade w/protein makes me gag now. I think from having so much of it.

I had the ricotta bake for a few days. I'm in the puree stage but rotisserie chicken, chicken meatballs, cold cuts, & plain tuna don't bother me.

I had a plain old fashioned peppermint and it made me nauseous... 

Less than a week before gastric bypass surgery. I'm nervous but excited. Been lurking here for a while, reading. I'm about ready as I'm going to get. Down 20 pounds in 3 months. A ton of pre op testing done and cleared. Food/drinks, chewable vitamins, protein, meds bought. On 2-week preop diet now which includes 2 protein shakes a day along with 3 ounces lean protein and 2 1/2 C.  non starchy veggies and is totally do able for me. Clear liquid day before surgery. A full sugar Gatorade night before  and again 2 hrs before arriving at the hospital. Interesting how different everyone's diets are depending on your doctor.

I'm optimistic all will go well. Good luck to the April surgeries happening this month and to all that are going through the process.  {{hugs}}

Finally have my surgery scheduled as of a couple days ago. For 3 weeks prior to phone appointment I was on a diet of 2 meal replacement shakes and 1 lunch under 500 calories only consisting up a small portion of lean meats and green veggies. Successfully loss 23lbs. Now that my surgery is scheduled the surgeon put me on 3 meal replacements a day and 0 food consumption. Also, I officially quit smoking about 5 days prior to that appt. First day on this diet and I don't honestly know how I feel. I'm hungry but I'm also stressed about so many things with and without the surgery I don't even want to eat. I'd rather smoke if you want me to be honest. That is effecting me more than anything probably because I am stressed. This surgery is my whole life savings. Feel like I'll get all the way there and something will cause the surgery to not be able to happen.
