After reading the earlier post about weightloss...

I decided to do a little poll. Tell us how much you have lost so far. I will go first! Surgery date 8/24/05, 27 lbs lost. Your turn! Lori

Surgery date 8-10-05, 28.5 lbs lost. I think it may be important to put start weights down also. I started at 229 lbs. Let me tell you, there will be a party when I get below 200. Hopefully by end of week.

surgery date 08/16/05...32 pounds so far. -courtney

August 16th - starting weight 287 - current weight 244. Down 43 lbs. Yipee!!!! Clothes are already looking a bit baggy. Went to thrift store to see if I could get anything cheap. Found a suit and 2 nice shirts - $15. Terri

Surgery date 8/22/05 Day of surgery weight: 254 Today's weight: 227 Weight loss so far: 27lbs. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura

Everyone is doing so well. My surgery was 8/30 - three weeks ago today. I'm down 37.4, and I need new clothes...LOL. My bra doesn't fit, and my pajamas and jeans had to go in the trash, as they were falling off! Yeah for us! elizabeth

Hmm. It sounds like you are all doing so well. I'm a bit behind I guess. I started at 244.4 and am down to 224.2. 20 lbs!!!!!! However, I lost most of that the first week and the scales have moved slow since. Gianna

Gianna, I was reading all the other posts & feeling like i was the only one that wasn't losing really fast. My surgery was 8/15 & I started at 291 with the beginning of the process in January. Was 284 the morning of surgery & am 260 now so that's 24 lbs. I did lose 15 in the first 2 weeks & then not really anything for a couple weeks. I've lost the last 9 in about a week so that's good. I'll probably slow down some again. Hey at least it's coming off right. Tammy

Surgery date 8/23/05 Starting weight 257 (5'9) Current weight 231.5 Total lost 25.5 Average 1/2 lb/day. That is fine with me. I didnt gain it all overnight so dont expect to lose it overnight. It will be better for the skin to shrink back. Everyone is doing very well. Sue
