Hello :)

Not sure if I have posted here or not. I am having RNY April 24th and plan to be a bit more active since surgey is finally coming up. I started at 377.5 and am now down to 346. Hoping to lose another 10 lbs at least by surgery. Nice to have a group where others have or in the process of losing as much as I do.

nice to have you on here I hope to get my sleeve in June , all is looking good , but am on a stall this month lost only 1 lb in 4 weeks, but im on plan and it will start coming off again im shore, my nut is not concerned as long as I did not gain

I actually gained two lbs this week and while I have slipped some this week on food choices. I still haven't gone over my allowed calories per day. But my period started and my water intake has been a little down. Had a touch of the stomach bug and its been hard to drink the last few days. Back on track tomorrow though!

Welcome! Awesome job losing before surgery. I didn't and I wish I had:-)! 

Thanks! My insurance didnt require it but my surgeon wants my bmi under 60 by date of surgery. So I need to be at 339 lol. I think the liquid diet should get me there if nothing else.

Hi Misty!  Welcome to the forum.  This is my favorite place on OH and the people on here are amazing.

You are doing a fantastic job losing before surgery!  I am the same as Sassy, I only lost 9 pounds total before surgery.  I did my 6 month diet and all my consultations in 2011 but then got sidetracked and stopped the process. So when I came back to the idea of surgery, I got approved right away.  I had gained back any weight I lost so I didn't have much time to lose a lot. I do wish I would have lost more before surgery.

Your date will be here before you know it!! Congrats!

Thank you!!! My personal goal was to be at 330 day of surgery and not sure if I will make that but I should be close enough. I also had the dreaded six month diet and honestly didnt start trying to lose until a few months ago. Whoops!!

Hi!

We are starting at very similar weights. My highest documented was 386 last April. Today, after a year of hard work I am at around 336 (and losing because of the liquid diet).

My surgery is April 10, so fairly close to yours!

Good luck, and we should keep in touch!
