lsmith715 55 Posted August 20, 2015 I started in April at 480. I'm still pre-op. I still have a month and half of my insurance mandated 6 month dr observed diet. I'm currently at 418. My bmi is still high but I have another month to go before I get a surgery date. I'm trying to lose as much as I can till that point. Your not alone. Message me anytime.

MicheleL 70 Posted August 22, 2015 @Ismith715 you have done a great job losing your weight! I was 527 and now I am 463. I start my 2 weeks of liquid preop diet on September 2nd. I am glad we can support each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KChelper 42 Posted August 22, 2015 Hi! I'd like to be on this club. : ) I was 450, lost 25 on two week liquid diet. Now I'm 4 days post op. Good luck to all of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsmith715 55 Posted August 22, 2015 So far what I've lost preop has come off fairly easy. I hope post op is just as easy. You guys are doing great too. It feels better with every pound gone. They are gone forever but definitely not forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiffanyt 38 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) My BMI was over 50, but I did not weigh 450. My starting weight was 366. I was sleeved on July 7th! Edited August 25, 2015 by tiffanyt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGmary 418 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) When i started my BMI was 59.5 i was not 450 lbs however i was 383lbs, this was back in oct 2014 - 10 months ago. I currently weigh 236 lbs and my BMI is at 37. I have lost 147 lbs and I'm still losing. It sometimes is hard to see so many reach their goal so quickly when i have so much more to lose. Don't let it get to you and just stay on your own course, just remember that people lose weight differently, and all at a different rate. Best wishes to you all on your weight loss journeys!

KChelper 42 Posted August 26, 2015 I'm one week out & am curious how much exercise you're doing/did do at this stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted August 26, 2015 I'm one week out & am curious how much exercise you're doing/did do at this stage? At one week out I was just doing some walking. I didn't really start any significant exercise post-op until I was cleared to get in the pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
