How much weight have you lost? How far out are you?
I had my Lap-Band surgery Dec 27th. I am down 14lbs pre-op and 16 pounds post-op. I haven't had any complications and feel really good. Getting bored of liquid-soft mushy foods. I put on a pair of dress pants the other day that I haven't worn in 3+ years and that was a great feeling! I've been working out atleast 5 days a week and that has helped my energy level a lot. Thank you to all of you for all of your input-it really helps to hear how everyone is doing!
Had my surgery on 12/12/06, and as of 12/18/06, I'm down 30 lbs. Add that to the 20 lbs I lost before surgery (while doing my documented weight loss last year) that's 50lbs, from my heaviest weight.
I'm glad someone asked the question though 
I was thinking I was just losing so slowly reading all these other posts, and after seeing my PA for my 4 week post-op last week and her saying, "25lbs down is good, now let's work on another 25lbs by your 3 month recheck." Kind of had the feeling I was behind the curve or something. 
I've gone down a pant size, and notice that my tops are fitting much loser in the hip area. YEAH! I go back to work tomorrow, so I need to go try on my uniforms. LOL I didn't see the weight loss until this weekend at my Aunt's funeral when my cousin took my picture with the relatives on his digital camera. I looked and all of a sudden, I was like, "Woah.. my face is skinny!"

Had my lap RNY on December 21st. Lost 26 lbs since as of my last weigh in this Monday (199lbs down from 225 pre-op, which is also my all time highest). Next weigh in next Monday --I'm trying to only weigh myself once a week.
Also, I think I'm down 2-4 sizes; from 20-22 to 14-16-18, (depending on the manufacture, etc.)
I have about 85 lbs to go to reach my goal weight --if I can do it in 4 or 5 months, I'll be a very hapy camper
My surgery was 12/21/06 and i am down 32 lbs. I also hit a "stall" for about a week or so....i have heard about "stalls" but did not know they could come so early on. i kept telling myself as long as i know i am doing the right things...this too will pass...and it did. unfortunately it will probably not be the last plateau i hit........
