1 MONTH OUT ----How much have you lost???

hi,i had my surgery on 2/23/09.had some problems,but am o.k. now i tried to do to much.walking,shopping ,driving and this is on the 3rd day home. i am trying to learn to slow down and relax....on full liq and will move to puree on the 13th.i have loss 21 lbs.in 12 days.can't believe it...i can't see it but, my man said he can see it and feel it.and my knee's don't hurt as much.Good Luck to all !!!!!!

I lost 25 before surgery and have lost 18 since surgery.  A total of 43 pounds.  I gained about 4 or 5 pounds while in the hospital.  It must have been from al the fluids they gave me.  I had to lose it again before I could start counting the weight again.   So.....long story short.  as of today (I haven't changed ticker) I am down 18 since surgery. 

You are doing great!  Keep up the good work.  

I am not exactly a month out, shy by just a few days. I have lost 31 pre op and I have lost 36 pounds post op

I'm three weeks out and have lost about 24lbs since surgery.  16 of those were in the first week...then almost a three week stall (weeee).  Finally a few days ago I started back up and lost 6 more lbs.  

Remember...stalls are normal!  ****ep reminding myself of this too lol)

Btw I lost 23lbs before surgery so I'm about 48 down total.  Pure liquid diet though...blah.

Thank you guys for sharing and for the encouragement.  I'm thinking that the weight loss my also be due to how high your BMI or weight is before surgery.  At least I have to think that(HEHE).  Hopefully this next month will bring great results.  Best of luck to you all!

I was banded so I've only lost 2 pounds.

I lost almost exactly 20 lbs the first month.  Too slow for me, but no choice!  LOL!

I lost 20 lbs in the first week.
