How much did you lose 4 months out?

[terilynn112 1]

Since surgery I'm between 17 and 19 pounds down. Total I'm nearly 50 pounds down, but I did a huge pre op thing.

I'm doing the whole "pouch test" thing now, as I had a fill, and the dr and I talked about it. So liquids again today. I lost 2 of the 4 I gained this week. I think it was a Water gain, as I've spent all day and night in the restroom urinating. Kindda like I'm in that TOM thing... but shouldn't be.

Hello All -

First - Congrats to all of us!!!

I was banded on 13 August 2008 (nearing 5 months now) and as of this morning have lost a total of 93 lbs. HOWEVER - 40 of that was pre-op (from January to August) and since banding I've lost 53 more.

I've had two fills - not sure the cc's - but the second one was right before Thanksgiving - gave me much more restriction and I've been working out what I can and can't eat now.

The most amazing victory - as someone who ALWAYS gained at least 10 lbs. every holiday season - I gained nothing and even though I had some fudge and holiday Cookies - I lost 2 more the last two weeks of the year!

This is the best decision I've ever made!

I was banded on 11/5/08, I have lost 25lbs so far. The last few weeks have been SLOW. I had a fill beginning of December..go back next week for a fill. So far I don't have alot of restriction, but I understand it's still early in this journey. Can't wait to get to the point of you guys!!:confused:

I had my surgery in july and i have only lost 24lbs. My BMI was 34 before surgery. I lost 26lbs prior to surgery but that took 1 year to loose. I am about 30lbs away from goal. I feel like I am behind schedule but I will keep my chin up and keep going!

I too was banded back in September and am down 30lbs since then. I was glad to read your post and the replies, I was wondering too. I feel the pressure also from those who know I had the band. I feel that they are looking at me saying, wow, that was expensive for nothing. But I feel the difference in my clothes, even though I can't actually SEE a lot of difference yet. I try not to weigh myself everyday, because it's a mind game and I'll lose. Those 2-3 pound fluxes were killing me. I knew I hadn't gained them, and a day later they were gone, so I figure this is Water, having to go potty, whatever. Have you ever weighed a 20oz bottle of water? It's heavy!! Don't weigh yourself after you've drank a bunch of water. I find the best time is right after I get up. Anyway, good luck to all September bandsters!!
