City: Laplace State: Louisiana | Nana I've only lost 20 but my port flipped the week after surgery and didn't have the revision until december. So you're not in last place :) I must say that I have found my stride the past month though and the weight is finally coming off.

City: New York State: NY | I think I am in last place. You guys put me to shame! I didn't follow the preop diet and I really didn't understand how to lose weight with the lap band at first and wasn't losing much but now I am limiting my calories to about 1200 per day and it seems to be working. I lost 28.5 pounds from my day of surgery.

Hi, Bergdorfblonde and Brandottie, it sounds like you had a few unexpected obstacles in the way, but you are starting to hit your stride. Good job  !
I formatted your stats, but if you want to list your total weight loss, just copy and paste the above stats and re-post.

City: New York State: NY | Fran, thanks for your kind words of encouragement! I was such a bonehead you guys. I was so worried that I would be unable to pig out again that I didnt follow the preop diet and ate like it was my last meal on earth! Then I didn't realize I had to watch what I ate after the band.  I felt so stupid cuz I paid all of this money out of pocket and my family friends kept asking how much I lost and I couldnt really tell them I lost anything! So then I realized I had to watch what I ate, and the weight started coming off. But then my dad died and I didn't really feel like dieting.  So now I am starting to lose the weight and it feels really good. I went from a size 26 jeans to a size 18, and on top I went from about a 2x to a regular (misses) XL. I can even squeeze into a size L top and 16 jeans although I look like a sausage and those sizes are so tight I can't breathe!  Its very gratifying seeing myself fitting into smaller clothes. I am just so jealous that you guys have all lost 80-100 pounds because if I had just limited my eating like I was supposed to, I would be done with my weight loss already! But I am very proud of the progress I am making nonetheless. I just need to buckle down and concentrate on taking off some more weight before my reunion.

Hi Bergdordorfblonde,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your Father. I would say that considering the circumstances, you have done exceedingly well.
As far as the other issues, well, so you've learned some things. Be grateful for this and continue to move forward.
I think if you look at the posts of those of us who have lost 80 to 100 lbs, you will see that most of us are exercising a great deal. Are you currently exercising? If not, you should definitely join our challenge! I can just about guarantee that if you start exercising hard and often, you will see the pounds melt off.
Most definitely you need to watch what you eat, and pretty carefully. I certainly do and I also use Fitday.com to track my calories. I try to stay in the 800 - 1100 calorie per day range. Most days I am at the upper end of this calorie range, but that's okay because I'm exercising a lot.
Anyhow, you're doing great, and you should give yourself a big pat on the back!
Gometros good job on your weight loss too! And thanks for posting your stats!

Onederland is finally coming into sight!
I'm back from CA, but will post it in a more appropriate thread. It went well! But now we wait to see if an offer (or TWO) come in...

City: New York State: NY | Fran you are totally right! I have been trying to eat 1200 calories a day, and it seems like you guys are eating 800-1000 a day and working out a lot. I hate excersising! But the truth is, whenever I have lost weight I was excersising. I'm also afraid if I excersise I will get hungrier, causing me to eat more calories.
Plus, I am getting very flabby. I feel like I am flabbier now than I was 28.5 pounds ago, probably because I am not working out. I think I will join a gym tomorrow and get back into working out. I haven't worked out in like 8 years. It is so pathetic. When I did work out, I used to enjoy the elliptical cuz it's like running but not as hard, and you get to work your arms and legs and whole body at the same time.
I think I will take your advice and join a gym tomorrow and possibly cut calories if I can. I would love to drop a lot of weight before my reunion in june and i think i can if I stop being lazy and really dedicate myself to dieting and excersise.

City: Twin Cities State: MN | Wow! I was just htinking about doing the totals on this but you beat me to it. Outstanding!
That comes out to about 73 lb average. Niiiiiiiiiiice!
Regardless of how far you are along, just think how much the total GAIN would have been if we hadn't gone for surgery?!
Go team go!
