How much so far - total?



Recommended Posts

I was banded Aug 5th 2008 and before the band I was 224 lbs when I went into have it I was 216 lbs and now I am 192 lbs. which is god 32 lbs. But I feel like it should be more, but slow is better then fast. I really count from the time I had the band so for me it's only 24 lbs. So I feel like I am not getting anywhere at times. I am happy and everyone notices, but it's in my head. My pants are too big and I have jeans that haven't fit me in so long.

But congrat's too everyone on there weight loss.

I figure when Aug 5th 2009 comes around that will be my weight loss. 1 year!

I've had an awesome month. I was practically stalled out and then joined a gym during the second week of November.

I got my 4th fill on November 18th and since then have lost 17 pounds. I'm going to gym 5 - 7 days a week, sometimes twice a day depending on the classes they're having. It's been the difference for me. The weight loss is going to slow back down soon but even so the exercise is giving me so much motivation and energy. My fitness level has already improved so much!

5th fill today!

Pre Band High: 266

Surgery: 254

Current: 209

I lost another 2 pounds this week, after being at 177.2 for two weeks. I hate when I hit a plateau. I had a fill also on Thursday so that did help jump start me again.

Hope to make my 170 goal by New Years. I have two Christmas parties so I will make sure I am very careful what I eat.

That will leave only 40 lbs to lose next year...by August.

I am taking it one day at a time.

I'm with you Lisa! I just got my FOURTH fill yesterday and the record shows that I've lost just under 20#. I'm not whining though. That's 20# less than I've weighed in years. Clothes that I used to "make" fit are now fitting the way they should.

I need to get my butt moving MORE and, hopefully, I'll get some restriction this time to help me along the journey. We'll hang tough and keep trying. It took a long time to get this way, and I need to keep reminding myself that this is the "right" way to lose.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
