Welcome!! I am pre op as well. I have to loose 34 pounds before I can get my second appointment with my surgeon. Do you have to loose any weight before your surgery?

[Tamisa73 17]

my insurance didnt require any supervised weight loss like alot of insurances are requiring.

You got lucky .lol I think it's because I weigh so much. I start at 484 and he wanted me to be at 450. I had my first appointment on July 5th. I've lost about 30 pounds so far. So I'm really close. Well good luck with your journey you have come to the right place for encouragement!

Wow 30lbs thats awesome!!!

[Ammariehs mommy 150]

Thanks but believe me it's been hard! Trying to loose weight on your own is so hard. It's always two steps forward and one step back all the time. But I'm trying to stay on track . I'm ready to get things moving forward with the surgery.

When I seen the nutritionist last week she gave me a diet plan and wanted me to start a Meal Replacement every morning..I cant seem to find the motivation to get started and I go back to see her tues..ugh..I have stoped all soda and went to decafe tea with splenda and also started a daily Vitamin that she asked me to do...but dang I just cant seem to find my mojo with this diet

I feel you!! Dieting sucks! I just wanted to get the surgery and start then. At least we would have the tool already in place to help. Doing it alone is hard work! And those Protein shakes get old real quick!!

I cant imagine how the 10 day liquid diet is gonna be..got to just keep telling ourselves how bad we want the surgery. .lol

Stick with it girl. It will be so worth it in the end. my son was 486 and the surgeon wanted him to be 400 by surgery date. He is now under 400 and his surgery is in October.

That's great! He must have been working hard! I started at 484 I am now about 455. It's a full time job trying to loose weight. Tell him congrats on his weight loss and surgery date! I can't wait to get mine!!
