I was never told to lose any amount of weight in my 3 months of supervision but I did lose about 25 lbs in the 4 months between my first doctor visit and my surgery day.

Just continue following the instructions your bariatric team gave you and it will happen. My hair loss started at about 5 months and continued for about 3 months. Luckily, I had a lot of hair to start with.

Use the heavy scale app, it has great weight loss predictors based on current and overall weight loss

I went up and down throughout the six months and ended up losing a paltry 1/2 lb. I was one who had a lot of food funerals because that's how I always did it before all of my big Monday diets I started in my past. It was my final farewell to all of my favorite foods. I don't recommend it though because it kept me from getting to my goal sooner. I'm always impressed with the ones who, even though they knew help was coming, didn't give in to the food funerals and actually lost quite a bit of weight pre op.

@SimplyMona I'm pre-op so nor sure about the hair loss but i just wanted to say congratulations, you look fantastic! Thats a great change in such a short period of time. Well done!!!

If you need an andriod app, instead of iOS, try Libra Weight Manager. It does the same thing.

I was required by my surgeon's office to lose 10% of my total weight during the 6-month lead-in to WLS. That should have been about 26lbs. I began the program at 256lbs on my 1st weigh-in. Surgery Wt was 222lbs. I lost 34lbs on their weight loss plan.

about 40 lbs. But I was much heavier than you are..

I went from 246 to 239 during the 6 month nutrition counseling. Was 239 on the day of my bypass. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
