Woo hoo! I now weigh less than I have in 5 years

I am on day 4 after banding. The first few days I had actually gained weight, but I knew that was just from the post-op swelling. Today the swelling is starting to go down and I am finally breaking into new territory on the scale.. Prior to banding I lost 40 pounds and had reached a point I had been to several times in the last 5 years. Previously, this is the point where I would fall off the wagon and start putting on weight again, only to end up even heavier than I was at the beginning. This time I am going to continue to lose weight and I will finally get to buy new clothes. I have the feeling that I will be at least one size down before I go back to work in 2 weeks.

Yea! and congrats. You are doing great. Your in the same boat as I was before weight loss surgery. I was the type that got bored with dieting and would stop or slow down. I had lost 40 lbs with WW and then went on vacation for 3 weeks cross country traveling. I think I gained 20 lbs that trip. Yipes! so I am now, for the 1st time in my life, at goal. You can do it. This "old" lady of 63 did it at 60. Good luck. Karen

Great attitude! Keep up the good work. Well done on the pre-banding weight loss!

Feels great doesn't it? The weight I lost pre band (not a lot, but even throughout the years), and my pre op diet, by the time I got my band every pound was a new low for me. So I am thrilled with every one. Good luck with your losses and keep working it!
