Surgery Postponed

I'm glad to hear that you are on track to have your surgery. It is the best decision for me and I'm certain you'll feel the same way once you make it through. I'm glad that you'll have the time to focus on yourself. I do hope your Mom's treatment goes well.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm three weeks out now and am doing great. I'm moving on to purée foods tomorrow. And see Dr. Sampath for my post-op follow up on Monday.

How's it going with the preop diet??

That is great to hear!! I'm having my Apple snack as I read this. Preop is going well, I'm glad it's good and not all liquid. It definitely makes it easier. If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight? I was at 260 and hope to lose about 80.

My starting weight before I started the pre-op diet was 246, I was down to 239 the day before surgery and I'm now somewhere around 218. I've lost a total of 27.5 lbs since January 24th and I'm really pleased with my progress so far.

The program's goal for me was to get me down to just under 150 lbs. But for me, that would keep me in the overweight range for my BMI. I want to get to a healthy BMI so I'm hoping to drop under 140. Too be honest though, I'd be happy with anything better than how unhealthy I've been.
