Congratulations!!!!!! Keep up the great work. I went to my doctor today after having sx on 10/9. I was 236.5 pre-op. Today I was 226. I am in awe. I could only hope to lose anywhere near that in 3.5 months. That is truly exciting.Keep it going...

Congratulations on your 50 pound weight lost. I know how it feels to be able to loose that amount in this time frame.

I lost 50 pounds in 4 months our of surgery and I have been with the same weight for a month now...I think I need a more agressive fill. Hopefully this thursday.

I have 6.5 cc on my 10cm APS Band.

Keep up the good work...

Are you exercising? I am, and since I started I noticed I stop loosing but I haven't gained either....Could be muscle?

Keep me posted,

Regards,

Vicky

Thank you all again for the congrats....the support here is so great!

Mona: I know it's hard being on the liquid phase but just keep in mind that it will pass. You must be so excited about your surgery....I'm happy for you. To answer your question on what I've been eating since surgery...I have a few rules that I adhere to. I always eat from a smaller plate (salad plate), use a small fork, I almost always eat my Protein first and them a small portion of a veggie, I don't eat in between meals, and never drink with my meals. I eat things like chicken, pork chops, meat loaf, really almost anything but just in smaller portions and cooked with very little fat. I'm sure not to eat things like fried chicken or fat laden foods. The band will not prevent you from eating the wrong things, but it will curb your appetite to give you that willpower to eat healthy. Good luck on your surgery....you'll do fine. Oh, and with the ticker, go to www.tickerfactory.com weigh loss ticker.

For everyone here: be well, keep positive, and good luck on your weight loss journeys!

Vicky, just read your post....I too have a 10cc APS band. I've had 1 fill since surgery and now I have a total of 3.2cc. I'm one of the rare one's who've had good restriction since surgery. You are doing great with your weight loss....keep up the good work AND the exercise. Yes, I do exercise...I walk daily and I know it's been helping me. You might be at that stand still from the exercise but it will soon start going down again. Good luck to you!

Hitting those milestones is sooooooooooo uplifting...you need to celebrate...when I meet wonder-land (less than 200 pounds) it was my fifty pound mark, too...so I celebrated with a brand new red bra...and a camera...when I hit 75 I will buy some new clothes...I have been shopping at Good Will because I hate to waste money on clothes I will only wear for such a short period of time, but in celebration of the 75 I will buy something brand spanking new!
