My Gastric Band Weightloss Journey

[jadeylemonadey 2]

Hi all!

I realise this is an American forum but I've not been able to find such an informative and friendly one in the UK so far so hope you don't mind having me here!

I started my weightloss journey on Tuesday 12th April 2016, where I began my liver reducing diet pre-op. I was 20st 9lbs, 289lbs. On the day of surgery, Tuesday 26th April 2016 I weighed 20st 1lb, and now 8 days post-op I weigh 19st 9lbs so 14lbs lost so far.

I hope to use this thread as a bit of a diary and would love any input and replies!

Many thanks

Hi @@jadeylemonadey! Welcome to the forum! I'm not American, I'm Canadian but it sure feels like home here! Congrats on your weightloss. I got mine done on April 27, so it feels like we're in this journey together.

Keep it up!

Hi Jad,

I had a lapband put in on March 20th,2016, This is great site. I started my journey last May at 220 lbs went in for surgery on March 20 and weighed in at 189,did not need to do a pre-opt diet as i had lost alot before. I am 2 months post opt at 169, so i am down 20lbs. Seem to be coming off really slow. I just keep telling myself to stick with the program and the weight will come off. Congrates on your weight loss.

Hi I actually started my journey on August 14,2015 the day of my surgery. I started at 291 lbs and I am happy to announce that I have finally hit onederland I weighed myself today and I am at 198 lbs. This really works but you have to put doe dedicatation and commitment to it as well. Good luck everyone trust the band it works! ????
