Let's keep track! How much did YOU lose in APRIL?



Recommended Posts

I thought it might be fun for us to keep a running total of how much we (April 2011 peeps) have lost each month. Post your loss this month below and I'll edit this post to keep a combined total. I think it'd be cool for us to see, month to month, how we're doing as a group.

I'll start- I lost 17 pounds in April.

Honestly though, for those of you who gained... eating normally I'd probably gain a lot more than 5 pounds in a month, so even if you gained 5, that's still a success!!

Since I was only banded on 4/26/11 I didn't really lose anything in April other than the 4 lbs. I lost prior to my surgery.

But since then, I've lost 13 lbs. so I'm 17 lbs. down since my surgery! And I haven't even started to exercise yet because I JUST started feeling good this week. Going to join Planet Fitness this week!

YAY APRIL BANDSTERS!!!

I have lost 16 total since surgery. I went in for my first fill and they said it was too early for me to have a fill because i wasn't eating all solids yet and i did have a little restriction.. Since that appointment 2 weeks ago, I have lost 2 pounds. Then I gained 2 pounds back, after eating 4 slices of pizza over the weekend and then I lost the 2 pounds this week. I am a little irritated because My Protein is high, my calories rarely go above 1200, I work out, and I am drinking Water. My next fill date isn't until june 16th. I can't seem to get past 212.5. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!:angry: Frustrated.

Hey guys, glad everyone is doing so well. I am down 21 total. I lost my stats that were on my phone, so I dont know how much was in April. I know that a bulk of that was done in the 1st two weeks after surgery. I have lost 7 pounds in the last two weeks or so. :lol:

Note: I found stats on my ticker. I lost 6 pounds before surgery, then gained that back after surgery then lost 16 total for april, so i have lost 5 pounds in May. I would love to be at 200 by July 4th, but my initial goal is 10 lbs for the month of June :P

My May total is 18.5 pounds. I have lost a total of 52.5. This week I lost the least amout, which was 2.5 pounds, but I know that is around what I should be losing per week. I have tried eating new things and expanding my food choices. My goal for June is 10 pounds, yes I would like to drop more than that, but I want my goal to be something I know I can do so June here I come!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
