Crazy Ates Weight Loss Totals

[Frangipani 1]

Hi Crazy Ates!

A few days ago in another thread, several of us were having a discussion about our group and weight loss. I noticed that a number of the other monthly groups have a separate thread where they keep a running total of their weight loss, and I thought it might be interesting to start one of our own.

I will start, and then we can keep a running update by copying the last post every time a new update is posted.

I know that on the weight loss tickers some people use their total weight loss and some use their weight loss from day of surgery, so I have included space for both figures and you can list one or both.

Here goes:

Name: Frangipani

Weight loss from day of surgery: 81 lbs

Total weight loss: 88 lbs

Total weight loss: 95 lbs

I wasn't sure what to put.

I've lost 95lbs w/ the band ... 14 on the pre-op diet and 81 since the day of surgery but I hit my high weight during the 6 month supervised diet required by my insurance. I've lost 111lbs since my highest weight of 311.

Hi Candle,

Losing weight is hard and you absolutely deserve to claim every pound you have lost by any method. This is they way I would do it, but feel free to re-post if you don't feel this is appropriate:

If you and everyone else agrees, I think we should use our absolute highest weight and weight on day of surgery as our benchmarks.

Total weight loss: 87 lbs

Weight loss from day of surgery: 81 lbs

Total weight loss: 111 lbs

Also, I realized that my total was off by one pound in my initial posting, so I have revised it.

(thanks - I'm going to change mine a little though. I feel my HW is a little inflated due to over eating before surgery)

Hey everyone! This is awesome information, and I think a lot of people will find this thread to be very helpful -- especially newbies and people considering Lap Band surgery.

Wow, we have lost a lot of weight so far!

Just imagine what these numbers will be by Bandiversary!!!

Nana - Remember this is not a race and most of us have not had the setback that you did with your accident. I had an ingrown toenail on my big toe and I could barely exercise, I can't imagine how hard it would be for you! I am glad that you are alright and that hospital sounds horrid. Slow and steady wins the race!!! Besides you might not have to deal with the hanging droopy belly that I have now! Good job on all you have accomplished!
