| Crazy Ates Weight Loss Totals
Hi Crazy Ates!
A few days ago in another thread, several of us were having a discussion about our group and weight loss. I noticed that a number of the other monthly groups have a separate thread where they keep a running total of their weight loss, and I thought it might be interesting to start one of our own.
I will start, and then we can keep a running update by copying the last post every time a new update is posted.
I know that on the weight loss tickers some people use their total weight loss and some use their weight loss from day of surgery, so I have included space for both figures and you can list one or both.
Here goes:
Name: Frangipani
Weight loss from day of surgery: 81 lbs
Total weight loss: 88 lbs

I wasn't sure what to put.
I've lost 95lbs w/ the band ... 14 on the pre-op diet and 81 since the day of surgery but I hit my high weight during the 6 month supervised diet required by my insurance. I've lost 111lbs since my highest weight of 311.

| Hi Candle,
Losing weight is hard and you absolutely deserve to claim every pound you have lost by any method. This is they way I would do it, but feel free to re-post if you don't feel this is appropriate:
If you and everyone else agrees, I think we should use our absolute highest weight and weight on day of surgery as our benchmarks.
Name: Frangipani
Weight loss from day of surgery: 81 lbs
Total weight loss: 87 lbs
Name: Candle
Weight loss from day of surgery: 81 lbs
Total weight loss: 111 lbs
Also, I realized that my total was off by one pound in my initial posting, so I have revised it.

(thanks - I'm going to change mine a little though. I feel my HW is a little inflated due to over eating before surgery)

Hey everyone! This is awesome information, and I think a lot of people will find this thread to be very helpful -- especially newbies and people considering Lap Band surgery.
Wow, we have lost a lot of weight so far! 
Just imagine what these numbers will be by Bandiversary!!!

I had an ingrown toenail on my big toe and I could barely exercise, I can't imagine how hard it would be for you! I am glad that you are alright and that hospital sounds horrid. Slow and steady wins the race!!! Besides you might not have to deal with the hanging droopy belly that I have now! Good job on all you have accomplished!
