  1. The waiting is the hardest part... i am having a bit of luck losing during this 6 month medically supervised weight loss, and that's great but... i just want all this to be over, to have my surgery done and my post op life started... i feel like i am stuck in limbo waiting... anyone else??...

      The waiting is so hard. I have a 4month supervised diet for qualification (3mos + initial intake). My doc started thyroid meds + B1 supplementation and I'm losing so much easier now--like a normal person. BUT! I've never been able to reach goal on my own or maintain. So I have this demon on my shoulder saying, but you're now on meds...should you give it one more shot?? So complicated the waiting!

      I lost 99 pounds (from 397 to 298) during my six month pre-op diet program. It was the best thing that happened to me. I completely re-defined my relationship with food before the surgery, and lost so much weight that post-op life was much, much easier. If you are losing, keep at it. You will thank yourself later for the hard work on the front end. Even now at 6'0", 185 pounds, I still think that if I hadn't done all of the pre-op work, I'd be at 285. It always makes me extra thankful for taking that approach.
