Day of Surgery Weight and how much you have actually lost?

[WASaBubbleButt 41]

I have been on here one month and I have realized that most of the weight loss tickers are including weight loss from PRIOR to surgery. I want to know what others have lost SINCE DAY OF SURGERY??? My surgery was 7 days ago and I have lost 7 pounds!!! Thank you for sharing a little inspiration here:thumbup:

With the band I lost 130 pounds.

Titancupcake, I don't really count calories. I know I probably should but I am not OCD-enough anymore to worry about it. I don't really have the time right now to figure it out. Plus I don't drink all of the extra Protein drinks. My doc just has women drink 2 glasses of skim milk a day (which I don't do most days either). He hasn't said anything about the Protein Drinks to me. Aren't there a lot of calories in the Protein Drinks?

I just eat until I am getting slightly full (maybe a 3-4 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being stuffed). Then I also try to eat slowly and I say to myself "if I was a skinny girl, how much of this meal would I actually eat?" So yesterday for instance, I had 1/2 of a 6" turkey sub from subway on wheat bread for lunch and I had 1/2 a wrap for dinner. Sometimes I get hungry, but I try to fight the urge to snack. Maybe your band isn't tight enough? Have you talked to your doc about it?

I have lost 37 lbs since my surgery on May 1st. I just watch what I eat and walk the treadmill daily for 2.75 miles.

I weighed 319 when I started my pre-op diet on March 28. I weighed 296 on surgery day, April 11 (23lbs in two weeks). Yesterday, I weighed 232 which is 118 days/just shy of 4 months since I began my pre-op diet (87lbs) and 104 days/just shy of 3.5 months since my surgery (64lb). I do cardio 4 days a week and weight train 3 days a week. I also haven't had a fill.

I want to be at 90lbs lost in 4 months so I need to lose 3 lbs by Sunday...probably not going to happen but I'll live with 89lbs by Sunday LOL!

Good Luck everyone!

My surgery was on 2/11/08 and I weighed 283. Today I weigh 237. I’ve lost 46 Lbs. since surgery.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

My highest weight was 330 Lbs. so as of today my grand total is 93 Lbs.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I still have a ways to go, but with each passing day is another pound (just a phrase) lost. It adds up over time.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

My workout routine is pretty strict. I workout every morning and every night six days a week. I’m supposed to take Fridays off, but I still did a power walk this morning of 2.5 miles.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Just remember to eat the right things most of the time, come up with an exercise routine and adhere to it like gospel and the band will help you to keep your portions small and to keep you satisfied until your next meal. The rest is up to you.<o:p></o:p>

I was banded this past tuesday, 8/22. I have lost 10 lbs. I am anxious to start walking an hour a day.

Today is my 6 month anniversary. I was 225 on the day of surgery and am now 164. That is 61 pounds in 6 months from the day of surgery. :0)

Day of Surgery was Feb.27th 2008 and weighed 329. I weigh 289 now. So 40 lbs since surgery.

Not as fast as others but I don't have an exercise routine even though I am working on getting one.
