I'll likely be between 8-10 lbs. dropped since surgery. But I don't count the surgery date as my start...I mark my start as my pre-op diet (2 weeks prior) because that was my first act that led to weight loss. I don't understand why most of these gals totally discount those lbs. or even that time period. It helped me get to 23lbs. down to date and I don't care if that started on surgery date or not.<br />Hang in and be a little gentler on yourself.Cindylewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540643788281963704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077417072297479861.post-77650081664884266632010-05-19T14:51:35.630-07:002010-05-19T14:51:35.630-07:00Stop beating yourself up.

Imagine that! Only 50 more to go and you can rock it.

I only lost 5 pounds post-op before my fill so you are doing great. Cheer up!

Basically your success depends on your ability to diet and we all know that if we could diet successfully, we probably wouldn't be in this situation. So please give yourself a break. You are in a healing phase, not a weight-loss phase. Plus you are doing great with the exercise.Amanda Kiskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035180757671095192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077417072297479861.post-29289253799009149702010-05-19T13:02:49.667-07:002010-05-19T13:02:49.667-07:00Just remember, there are many successful bandsters...Just remember, there are many successful bandsters who lost a lot of weight, but weren't perfect all the time. "Only" 8 lbs in a month is great. Don't downplay your accomplishment because you wanted more.
