Jaymie72 0 Posted January 3, 2008 When I came home from the hospital I immediately weighed myself. It said 230#, yikes!! I know I was really bloated though so I think it was up a little. I had not weighed myself before I went in because I just didn't want to know. Well here I am 6 days post band and I am 217!!!!! Cna you believe that? I realize that it is mostly Water but I am just floored. I have never been able to lose weight and it is really exciting for me. OK, just had to talk, thanks for listening!!

-acl- 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Hi Jaymie, Yes I can believe it, I lost just under 20 lbs in the first 2 weeks post op. Now it's stopped (at 26.4 lbs), I've had my 1st fill, but am in need of restriction - hopefully I'll get some with my 2nd fill. I've also been walking and even though the scales haven't shown a loss, my clothes are looser. Good luck to you, and you deserve to be excited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilackat 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Well done, keep going! The reason you can't believe it is - I think - that you've been trying and failing to lose weight for so long (or yo-yo dieting, that's worse) that you believed deep down that it wasn't going to work for you! That's how I'm feeling anyway.My surgery is booked for January 16th and I've hardly told anyone - probably because I'm afraid it won't work and I'll look like an idiot! Irrational, I know, but there you are. Anyway, best wishes and good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AudricIan 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Well done, keep going! The reason you can't believe it is - I think - that you've been trying and failing to lose weight for so long (or yo-yo dieting, that's worse) that you believed deep down that it wasn't going to work for you! That's how I'm feeling anyway.My surgery is booked for January 16th and I've hardly told anyone - probably because I'm afraid it won't work and I'll look like an idiot! Irrational, I know, but there you are. Anyway, best wishes and good luck to you. Lucky, don't worry, you won't fail. I felt the same way, I didn't even tell my DH until 5 weeks post op!. I don't have as much weight to lose so I have only lost 10 lbs in 5 weeks. I am sooooo excited to have lost 10 lbs. I can't wait to step on the scale in the mornings now! The first few weeks you will lose weight, combination of liquids and extra energy really made it work for me. I am now on solids and I have not had a fill yet. I am not losing as fast but nonetheless, I am still losing 1-2 lbs a week. I can only eat about 1/2 as much as I used to and I have energy to do so much more which makes burning calories a lot easier. Good luck to you on your new life journey.

make33 2 Posted January 4, 2008 Like all of you, I had serious doubts whether this 'tool' would really work for ME. Yeah, I read all of the wonderful things everyone was saying but I kept thinking "They're not like me--I'll bet their metabolism is different from mine! I'll have this surgery and never lose a pound!" And wha-laa!!! And like Audric, I am losing at a rate of 1 - 2 pounds a week--simply unbelievable!! And the very best of it all? I am FULL all of the time now!!!!! Congrats Jaymie, you go girl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
