Kym Preslar 21 Posted December 6, 2015 My surgery is Dec. 9th. I'm excited but nervous. I am hoping to lose 60 but my goal is 80. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24601 210 Posted December 7, 2015 I had my surgery on Thanksgiving. Starting BMI was 29, and my goal is to lose 50 lbs. Since my post op diet, I have lost 17 lbs. It is pretty amazing! I know my weight loss will slow as I get closer to my goal, but I am loving it! Right after my surgery and the next couple of days afterward I was questioning why in the world I would do such a thing. But my recovery has been super quick, I just haven't regained my energy. My 9 year old daughter didn't see me for 4 days when I had the surgery done, and when I returned she kept saying that something looked different about me. After a couple of hours she said, "You look thinner!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dancingqueene 182 Posted December 7, 2015 I technically wasn't given an amount. I'm down #40 in 6 weeks. My goal is 40 more. My doc felt I'd lose about 70 -/+. I barely met the 40 BMI requirements to begin with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherri2000 6 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) How did DR and insurance approve you with such a small amount too loose.? I am not taking the want/need to loose 60 lbs lightly. I just know what I had to do and I have 1 90 lbs to loose. Edited December 7, 2015 by cherri2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cherri2000 6 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I only have to do pre-op diet for 2 days. Seems so odd after reading on this site. I am trying to cut out carbs - maybe 8lbs. MsMe and Cutepretty1 - you are inspiration that I can do this!! Edited December 8, 2015 by cherri2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
