Start weight: 295

surgery weight: 270

2 weeks post-op: 263

total loss so far: 32lbs

Well, I am down 3 more lbs this week. My BMI has dropped 5 points since beginning the pre-op diet. Amazing really.

My goal is to be down to 250 by Thanksgiving. I haven't weight below that for about 3 years and then that was only because I got down to 247. Before that it's been about 6 years since my lowest weight which was right around 235. So, It will be so exciting to get below 235. I haven't been below that since 1998.

It seems like there is so far to go. And there is. But each day I am losing little by little instead of gaining. I am so happy to be going in the right direction.

Yesterday I consumed 784 calories.

I'll probably update more tonight.

It's later.... I've challenged myself to work out between 19-23 times this month for at least a half hour each time. I rode my bike for 30 minutes. I consumed 740 calories today.

Congratulations. Sounds like you're doing great. You're inspiring me - I begin my 10 day liquid diet on Sat and will be banded on the 13th. Thanks for letting me follow along on your journey.
