CurlyDiva 5 Posted July 19, 2011 I feel like the July Bandsters are such comrades! Lol!! How are you all doing with weight lost so far? I was banded 7/13/11 and so far I'm down 16 lbs! Amazing! I can start on mushies 7/27/11 SN: I had no pre-op requirements so I ate what I wanted up until the day before surgery so all of my weight loss has been POST-op 1 NEWME10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bashy611 8 Posted July 19, 2011 I was also banded on 7/13 and I'm down 17 lbs (including weight lost during my pre-op diet)!! Can't wait to get out of the 200lbs!!! Wishing you the best of luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyDiva 5 Posted July 19, 2011 Whoop whoop!! Bashy that's AWESOME!! Youre kicking butt girlie! We'll be out of Twoderville and into Onederland in NO time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate rules 43 Posted July 19, 2011 Down 30 pounds since starting pre-op diet on 5/17. Only 3 pounds since 7/6, though. But better to be down 3 than up, so I will take it. 55 pounds to go until my ultimate goal weight. Here's to us becoming too skinny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorelei 0 Posted July 19, 2011 18 lbs so far counting 12 days pre-op. I'm getting on the dr's scale today so we'll see what that says. I feel much the same though, and my clothes fit about the same. I know this makes no sense but I keep thinking I'll be at my goal weight but still wearing a size 20 (I'm fully aware of hoe ridiculous tha sounds). I am excited for the future though...a little at a time and I'll get there Congrats to all of you guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy_1day 0 Posted July 19, 2011 I'm down about 19lbs to include 6 lbs from the pre-op. I'm happy with the loss but I haven't lost anything in the last week which makes me sad. I'm hoping this week picks up again. Anyone else have that problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merlina 0 Posted July 19, 2011 I am down about 15 pounds. I was banded on 7/12 and did not have to do a pre-op diet but did a modified version of one and lost 7 pounds pre-op. I have lost 8 pounds in the last week (since surgery). Sounds like you are all doing great! Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginasjmm4 3 Posted July 19, 2011 I feel so good about this choice I made for my health. I am doing much better today since surgery. I had a battle with the gas villian and he won first round. As a matter of fact it was a TKO . I got up and refused to be a victim/quitter again. I started to walk and I walked until i was sweating and bit tired. Then I walked some more and guess what I knock out the gas villian this time. I was also banded 7/13/11 and i am down 17 lbs! Its unbelieveable!! I can't wait to start on mushies 7/27/11. I love eggs...lol Highest Weight 307 Doc Visit 300 Pre Op (14 days) 287 Surgery 285 Today 283 To all everyone....Good Job on your sucesses Gina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nesportsfan 2 Posted July 19, 2011 I lost 14 lbs on my pre op diet. Had surgery on 7/7 and have lost 10 lbs since then. My 2 week post op appt. is on thurs. so, hopefully I can start mushies then. I'm not really feeling hungry. But I'm not getting a full feeling others describe either. I just feel different some how...like i'm more in control of my appetite somehow. Don't know if this is the honeymoon phase or what...but so far, so good. I really can't wait to get the ok to swim again and move around more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CurlyDiva 5 Posted July 19, 2011 @tracy that's GReat!!!!! And don't fret about the scale not moving, remember this is the time for healing. Also, prepare yourself to gain a few lbs when u can start eating full solids again, because again you're adding food back to your diet from a liquid diet! So kudos to you!! @Gina that's absolutley amazing!!! I'm literally salivating at the thought if eating eggs again!!! Lol 7/27 is my mushy start day too. Yayyy for all of us on our way to ONEderville!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
