4 weeks post op today and so happy about progress!

[Huggles1951 1]

I'm so happy for you. I was banded January 10th and half of my weight was post op. I'm still on the liquid diet (creamed Soup, Protein shakes etc,) till the 26th. It's been so exciting to see the numbers change on the scale. It used to be so frustrating before. I don't get hungry very often and I hope that continues. Again congrats.

I am four weeks out today and I got on the scale this morning and I have lost.....20.8 pounds! I am so excited about this! I know some people lose more than that in their first 4 weeks but, this is all post-op loss and I'm just happy because I never would have been able to do that without the band (even though I haven't had a fill, I have good restriction, I can eat a 1/2 to a whole cup of food and I'm good for 4-5 hours). I don't have a lot of people to talk to about it, so I wanted to share it with people who appreciate losing weight! What a Monday and a great way to start my week!

I hope the rest of you are doing wonderful! Happy Monday!

Congratulations!! Keep up the great work Amber.

I am 4 weeks out today as well and I feel great so far. Its strange that I am eating so much less but have so much more energy. I just went to get a cup of coffee at the coffee shop at work. It is only my 2nd cup since mid December. The girl who works at the coffee shop asked if I had been losing weight and said it was very noticeable. I said "Yes, Thanks You" and walked away with the biggest smile. Its a good way to start the day.

Be sure to keep us updated on your progress. Good stories like yours kept me motivated for the year I battled for insurance approval and continues to almost a month post-band. I'm sure it does the same for so many others throughout their journeys as well.

Congrats Amber. I was banded the same day as you and not doing as well. I am eating well and sometimes stay full but the scale doesn't want to move much for me.

Stay encouraged. I was banded 9 days after you. I lost 19 pounds then added 5 back when I moved to stage 3 of the diet. We're on this journey together~

OMGGG what a wonderful weight loss. I am not losing and I am 13 days post op. What did you all do within those 4 weeks to lose that way?

Congratulations. I think 20.8 pounds in 4 weeks is tremendous. I'm a little over 3 weeks post op and I can't imagine being at that next week so you're doing better than me. Luckily I don't compare myself to others and suggest you don't either Keep up the good work!
