How much have you lost July Butterfllies??



Recommended Posts

I wish I was as relaxed about weight loss as you... it's driving me nuts that my weight loss has pretty much stalled since the first couple of weeks post surgery. Tomorrow will be 6 weeks since banding and I've only managed to lose between 11 - 14 lbs depending on which day I step on the scale.< /p>

YAY!! Finally broke out of the funk I was in and have now reached the lowest I have been since surgery! I was having such a hard time right before my first fill and gained about 5 lbs. I think I am on my way!!;):thumbup::thumbup:

Congratulations to all you losers!!!! I am down 40lbs from the start of this Quest on July 1st. I was banded on July 22nd. I will get my first fill, maybe, on Sept. 10th. I have not been hungry or sick. I feel as though something has clicked on in my brain....finally! That is where weight loss starts for all of us.

It looks like July was a great month for banding!

I'm STILL stalled on my weight loss. Hopefully when I get my 2nd fill next Tuesday, it will help me eat less. I am exercising almost daily (have had to take today off because my knee is killing me) but I think my calories are on the high side.... 1200 - 1500 a day. At least I'm not gaining and even though the scales haven't moved in weeks, my clothes are getting just a tad bit looser.

If those clothes are getting looser you are doing great! It sounds like you are maybe replacing fat with muscle. AND, I see you are in "ONEDERLAND"!!!! How awesome! Congratulations:thumbup:

Down 19lbs in 4 weeks. I'm happy, but I'm starting @ the Y and also starting a couch to 5K. I still feel I eat to much @ a sitting and hoping my second fill helps with that, but I can't complain because the scale keeps moving in the right direction just slowly.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
