epm316 0 Posted July 15, 2008 I am up to 47lbs lost so far! This includes the 17lbs lost on my pre-op diet. This tuesday is my 26th b'day and for the first time in years I cant wait for it or for future b'days. I am hoping to be at goal by my next one! I am already planning a birthday bash on a boat for next year! Sort of like a reintro to the world ; ) Happy Birthday!!! Congrats on the great loss. I just hit 40 today:thumbup: Have a great day!!!!

Great2BThin 5 Posted July 15, 2008 Ugh I've been stuck on the last 2 or 3 pounds for the past couple weeks. I've been working out a lot and eating pretty good, its so frustrating! I got my first fill today so I'm just on liquids right now, I'm starving!!!! I've lost 17 pounds since surgery, 27 all together. I'm dying to hit under 200 lbs for the first time since freshman year of highschool!! Congrats to everyone who has had so much success! I got my first fill yesterday too. Luckily only had to do fluids yesterday. I found it much harder to go back to fluids this time than I did post op. Good luck in getting under the 200 lb mark. You'll get there!

Allison 2 Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks! From doing all liquids yesterday I managed to loose a pound, so now I only have 2 pounds to go before I hit 199! Once the number on the scale doesn't start with a 2 I'm going to feel so much different, so much better! I know theres not much of a difference in how someone who is 201 and someone who is 199 look, but just knowing I broke through that plateau I will feel so good!

NY2LAGirl 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Allison you are doing amazing, you must be so proud! I think everyone on here has that magic number that if they can just get to will make them feel they are on the way. I know I do. I just want to see my scale get under 170 now. I want it to bad I am weighing myself everyday now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeliciaLevy75 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Yvonne I couldn't be happier for you! 30 pounds lost never to be found again. LOL My thoughts, exactly! We aren't losing it, nor are we looking for it.... we know where it's going and we don't want it back. I prefer to say that I have now abandoned about 50lbs. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yvonne72 0 Posted July 17, 2008 I did it... I ABANDONED 30lbs... Here's "before" and "current" photos! Sorry about the hair in the 2nd one... wanted to see what it was like to have a "neck"! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ursa 0 Posted July 17, 2008 I kept clothing that no longer fit as I continued to grow. It is like meeting a long lost friend. Putting on those shorts that I could now fit into. I have a variety of shirts and shorts that I haven't worn in 2 years-now fitting comfortably. I can't wait to see 199lbs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KatsenD 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Just wanted to add my 2sense. I was at 280 pounds the day I started my liquid diet in April, today I am at 251.6, YAHOO..... I did hit 250 on the 4th of July, but, well, weight goes up and it goes down. I just go with the flow and am loving it. Congrats all.. keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gralda 1 Posted July 19, 2008 wow so many of you banded in May have lost a lot!!! congratulations - I only lost 2 lbs for the last month, but after a fill last week, finally started seeing the scale go down again, and lost 3 this week! Down 33 total since my two-week pre-op diet. It's slower than I had hoped but at least it's going the the right direction!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
