    I agree with everyone! You are doing amazing! No need to be discouraged. You are doing this for you not for your surgeon! You need to set realist goals and that is more then most people loose upfront. That is really pushing it! You aren't gaining so I think you are doing great!

    You are doing great! I'm on the same schedule as you - same surgery date. I lost 10lbs before surgery, gained 6 back from water after surgery, and am down a total of 30.5 since before surgery, 25 since surgery. 'How do you feel' is the most important question? I'm down a full size, and look so much healthier already, so I'm still feeling optimistic and positive. My weight loss has been sporadic too - scale stays the same for a week or more, then down a pound or two. My doctor says I'm doing great and told me to expect it to be a slow gradual step down process. It feels like your doctor is putting too much pressure on you for an unrealistic goal - I think because we have a lower BMI number that the weight isn't going to come off that fast.

    Annette one of my idiot friends and we all have a few asked me something in that vein, I told her the only thing my surgeon guarantees is we'll be on a liquid diet post surgery.

    Seriouslyyyyy doubt it. You need 3500 calorie deficit per pound. There’s also water weight, but losing 20 pounds of water isn’t something that happens accidentally. It would take extreme measures and you would feel like crap.

    Not really my goal. But Saturday I was 260lbs and today I weighed and it said 241lbs. I worked out today for an hour. I’m trying to drink water, I don’t feel dehydrated

    Is that your goal? Seems unlikely to me without some sort of extreme dehydration.

    How about how soon will I become over-sexed post surgery? Because if I'm gonna become hot to trot after years at a slow limp I want to be ready! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

    Any updates on how things are going for you? If you need a shoulder to cry on or anything else just ask. I'm pre surg myself, if I can't give you an answer I'm sure one of our veterans on Bariatric Pal can. At any rate welcome my friend. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

    The peer to peer was denied, but I got sick of waiting for the doctor to do the written appeal. So I utilized my option to do my own appeal. Today I found out it worked. I have been approved. Just wanted to update this in case anyone else finds themselves in the same boat.
