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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
