Hi everyone! I've lost 64 pounds since my surgery on August 27th and I feel FABULOUS!

I've gone from a size 26 pants that morning to a size 16 today!! That is amazing! I haven't been a 16 since 1993!!! I'm bigger on the top (thanks to the breasts, lol) but they've reduced too THANK GOD!!

I'm grateful everyday that I had the surgery! I'm halfway to my goal as I've lost 79 pounds when you include my pre-op loss and I have 80 pounds to go!

I'm thrilled to hear positive updates from everyone else!

PS. I've only lost 3 pounds since Thanksgiving but I've gone down a pant size since then so I'm definitely losing inches.

I don't weigh every day, but the last time I weighed, I was down 52 lbs since Aug 13.  I'm down from a TIGHT size 22 to a LOOSE size 18 in my work pants.  I've been at this weight for a couple weeks now, so I'm hoping that the losing will start back up again soon!

My goal is to do better at taking my vitamins.  I go frm doing really well to not doing so well and then I try to do better.  I need to be more consistent!  I haven't had any labs done and I'm not scheduled to have any done until Februrary...

I'm losing hair like crazy.  I had anesthesia for my surgery and then again a month later when I got a stricture opened back up.  I hope since I was put to sleep twice that it doesn't mean that I'm going to lose TWICE as much hair!!

Happy Holidays & Happy Losing to everyone!

I have lost 60 lbs since surgery on 27th August. Everything is going well and I am enjoying a greater variety of foods.  No specific goals for Christmas and New Year, but looking forward to the festive season!

I just had my 4 month surgiversary earlier this week - I'm down 70 lbs. I've also gone from a size 24/26 into my Mom's 18/20s. I'm so excited about that. Since week 3 my blood sugar has been in the normal range and everything seems to be going fine.

I hadn't set any Hoiday goals for myself - other than to stick with the 30 minutes of daily exercise and my eating plan (protein first - no grazing - 3 meals - 2 snacks). I'd like to set some goals for my birthday in March or my 6 month surgiversary in February but the way the weight sometimes falls off then hangs on at other times, I'm not really sure what would be realistic. Any 6 month goals out there?

You're not alone.  I had the lapband in 8/08 and Ive only lost 15 pounds thus far.  What am I doing wrong??? I dont even feel like anything is going on anymore.  

I feel like I should have had the gastric.
