And I am only a couple of pounds away from leaving the mobidly obese catagory!! I am also feeling pretty good. How about the rest of you?!?! Linda

Congrats Linda!! I'm also a July 26er. I lost 10 lbs on the pre-op diet and 28 lbs since surgery...total of 38 lbs. My weight has been stuck for the last week and 1/2, but I feel so much better and that's the important thing!! Congrats and good luck to you!! Amy

I am a 26'er too. Happy anniversary to us!! I started 249 Pre op 244 Now 212 grand total of 37 lbs. Not bad at all!! I am feeling Ok. not as well as I would have hoped for but not bad. I am kinda stuck in the middle. Every day is better and I am looking forward to the morning that I wake up and say I feel Great!! It will be here soon. Hope all is well with everyone else. Donna

I too am a 26'er. I went to my one month dr. appt today and was sort of disappointed. I orginally lost 15 lbs for my pre-op diet, then lost 17 lbs in 10 days for my first post op dr. appt., but since then i only have lost 10 lbs in three weeks. Granted, Im down a total of 42 lbs, but the 10 lbs in 3 weeks has me a bit down. I know the problem though..im not drinking my protein shakes or drinking enough liquids. I just got a sampler pack of protein powders, so im hoping that ill find one i like and it will be easier for me. Congrats to everyone

Check my message answering the one about having trouble with protein, I've found two kinds that I like. JO

Jo, I couldn't find your post about your favorite protein drinks. Would you mind repeating them? Linda

Well, I don't feel as good about my weight loss as I did before I read all of your stats. I got the lapband 7/25/05. I had lost 10 lb. on my 3 week checkup and I think I've probabaly lost 3 to 5 pounds since then. I have had 1 fill (1cc) and I go back on 9/06/05. But I'm lovin' my band!

Linda, Yep, I am 26er too. I had my 4 week appointment on Wednesday, and I was down 33 pounds. I got on my scale yesterday, and I think I have lost another pound. Pre-op weight 301 4 week weight 268 I quite happy with that. I had been feeling really good until late this week. I felt VERY tired yesterday, but for several reasons I had to go to work. I feel better today, but I do seem to tire easily still. I am not getting enough execise, and I pledge to change that this week. Linda
