Hi & Welcome to the forum! We're a pretty regular group here for the most part. Hope your insurance covers the pricey parts. I never had to do optifast, I heard it can get expensive but I think in the end you'll find its so worth it! Good Luck on your upcoming surgery, will save a seat for you on the losers bench!
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

Hang in there girl! I've got that stair step pattern too, lose a little, gain even less, no loss, then drop again. I keep that in mind every time the scale creeps up & I hadn't changed my habits. You're doing great!

I'm up a smidgen this week, but this is consistent with my trend, 2 weeks of losses is followed by nothing lost of a small gain. The 220's are being so darn elusive-- but I'm sure I said the same about the 230's, 240's 250's etc LOL.

First time poster here. I'm actually not planning on surgery, but I'm starting a VLCD (very-low calorie diet) next Friday. It has weekly medical monitoring and bi-weekly bloodwork, with a 3 hour block of appointments and group discussion every Thursday. For those who have heard of it, it's the Optifast program, 800 calories a day of "shakes" (not really, but you know), dehydrated soup, or protein bars.
Anyway, starting out at 350 today. I got down to 320 last year but then piled it back on with emotional binge eating. I'm hoping that a few months of radically changing my diet on this program will help me break the bad eating habits that have been instilled in me over decades. I will probably at some point go back to my food addiction therapist, even though she's no longer covered by my insurance. I need to wait and make sure my insurance isn't lying about covering some of this weight loss plan first, though, as just the part that insurance never covers is pricey.

Thanks Chickenboob, I just went back to basics. Protein first, no drinking with meals and logging everything in My Fitness Pal.

SInce I share my scale with my BMI over 50 peeps... thought I would share my victory. My scale dropped again this morning, So I am officially at the lowest weight I've been in my adult life.
Woop! Woop!... Some ways it is a little surreal.
Yay! Awesome job!
