GOT MY DATE!!

after 2 long years i have finally made it through the whole process and i am approved for surgery! now i just have to wait a month and a half and i will go under the knife!! i cannot wait to start my new life!!! 

July 7th is the date! i hope it comes quickly!!

oh and how much weight did you guys lose in 2 months? im trying to gage how much i will weigh in sept to see if i will be able to fly comfortably...

Melanie,

Congratulations!!! I know it may feel like July 7th is a long way off, but it will be here before you know it. 

I lost weight before my surgery. Some people do. Some people hold tight and some even gain a bit as the enjoy their last hurrah. Holding your weight or starting your weight loss journey and losing a few pounds is definitely doable and just helps you along the way. You might want to try using an online tracking system like www.mydailyplate.com to help you become aware of your intake. I have to say that I found it enormously helpful throughout my weight loss and even use it now when I need to 'refocus.' 

Wishing you all the best,

Congratulations! I am 7 weeks out today and I have lost 52 lbs. My starting weight was 355. I haven't flown yet, but that might give you somewhat of a comparison. Good luck, and like Barbara said, it goes by fast!!!
