Shortierock 10 Posted January 21, 2015 Hey everyone, So Im so excited I got the call yesterday for the date. I got next week to visit with my surgeon to start my pre-op diet. I have read so much, I know no amount of prepping will really get me prepared but Im ready. I enjoy exercising.. I cant wait to get back to it. Have any of you took measurement before ? to compare. I used to scale everyday then switched to measurements when I didnt like the scale. Hoping I have over success and balance. Dr's office said my goal weight should be 168-170.. Im currently 250.. I already know I may lose alot of my women figure hoping I can preserve some with squats and in house exercising. My family is supporting me and ready for this just as much as I am. I have my husband and 3 children. Good luck to everyone, and keep up all your hard work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trayjay33 138 Posted February 5, 2015 Congratulations on your February 17th surgery date! We had similar starting weights but I do not use measurements but that's a great idea. Even when I'm not losing pounds the inches are coming off. I can feel it in my clothes and if I don't I get a little nervous but it works out. My Doctor didn't give me a goal weight, he asked so I told him what weight I wanted to get down to and he said it's doable. With your love for exercise, knowledge, motivation and support you got this. Keep us informed of the changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGibson711 10 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Congrats, my bypass is scheduled for Feb 23rd. It was for the 16th but my GI revealed H-Pylori. My starting weight was 290 and now im down to 271. My goal weight is also 165-170 and I too am married with 3 kids. I never took any measurements but I plan to do so to get a accurate figure of weight loss. Good luck to everyone on your journey and road to a healthy/better life. Edited February 11, 2015 by MrsGibson711 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
