Just getting started

[Jim Y 11]

I all. I love this site. I am just getting started into the process. I will need to do 6 months of exercise and weight loss before they can schedule surgery. I weigh 340. I am afraid I will not lose the weight an d they will cancel the operation. Any suggestions.

Welcome Jim! Did your Nutritionist give you some kind of weight loss plan? As long as you take this seriously and stay on course, along with working out you will lose the weight. Don't forget plenty of Water, and get your sleep too.

We started with a Protein about one month before surgery, and started losing weight, eating healthy. This is your chance to finally lose this weight so I doubt you will blow it LOL!!!! Keep focused. Like I told my husband, if we don't get on board with the plan for surgery, the months will pass by anyway and we will still be overweight. This has been the greatest thing ever! My husband, in 8 months has gone from 320 lbs to 240 lbs. He is 6' tall, is off Metformin and a BP med, and his blood sugar is awesome. He is taking a minimum amount of insulin compared to pre-surgery. Best wishes to you, this forum will keep you focused and occupied.
