How are you doing on weight loss?
Good day all...I had surgery on Jan 27, So I am just over 2 weeks out. I had one week optifast before hand..I am down 21lbs in these three weeks. I am happy with this...I now weight 225! It has been so so long since I have been this "skinny" My pants are going to have to be retired soon! YAY!!! I bought an outfit at good will today that is about 3 sizes too small...it was half price day! So it is hanging on a hanger in my room where I can see it..when the scale will not move i will put on the outfit and yahoo when it fits..LOL..then i will go buy another! Oh this is going to be so much fun! Good luck ladies! Laura
I had surgery on 1/20. I don't have a scale at my house, but at my post op appointment on 1/29 I had lost 12 pounds since my surgery. 83 pounds total - but I had a six month pre op diet! Everyone is telling me they can see that I have lost more weight though. I go to the doctor's again on 2/26 and will find out then how I'm doing.
I've started my water aerobics again it's really helped me feel a lot better.
Amanda,
I didn't have Lap band but I am thinking that the weight loss is similar to RNY. I have read that if you don't get your protein and liquids in that you will not loose as much weight. I too thought that I hadn't lost enough weight, but then I took my measurements and was surprised to see that I had lost more inches then I realized.
Remember this is just a tool and we have to do our part by eating right and getting plenty of exercise.
Good luck it will happen, just make smart choices!!

I had surgery on 1/27/09. I lost 10lbs pre-surgery, and I am down 22# since surgery. Struggling with getting all the liquids and proteins in. Have started to gag on my pills. Back at work last week but get tired easily. I have a long day today...working until 7:30 PM. Good times. But I know things will get better!!! Take care all!!!
