Weight?

[loca_lette813 30]

Has anyone gained weight in the beginning and then started to lose it back to their start out weight? I kinda was careless in the beginning then i got back on track towards the end. My beginning weight was 325 and i ended up gaining and weighing in at 369. I am now 334.

@@loca_lette813 when I had my first appointment with Dr., I was 271. My insurance requires 90 days supervised weight loss. During my middle appointment I was up to 283. By my last appointment I was down to 276. They just submitted to my insurance (BCBS Federal) yesterday so I don't know yet if I'll be approved because of the weight gain. I'm really nervous, but Drs office thinks it should be okay...

I really felt like I was the only one....

I've gained like 8 pounds during my supervised diet - my last weigh in is August 5. I'm so stressed trying to take it off and it just won't budge

@@thatmeanone and @@amyflores Try cutting out all sodas, high calorie drinks. Stick with a high protein/low carb (and only fruits and vegetables for carbs) diet. Drink alot of Water or non caloric drinks (no soda). You might want to try replacing a meal with a Protein Shake. It's really important not to have a gain (you don't need a large loss) - some insurances will deny you if there was a gain. Good luck!!

Thanks For sure. I've already given up so many of those naughty things - but I think I am going to try replacing Breakfast and lunch with Protein shakes until my weigh in August 5...

Then I'll have the weekend before I start my pre surgical liquid diet before surgery August 22.

I'm so done with people telling me to have a "last meal" I think that is kind of defeatist at this point but I do plan to go to city island for crab legs with my husband August 7.

He deserves it since he is wholeheartedly supporting the cancellation of his 50th birthday vacation because my surgery got scheduled the week we were supposed to be away.

Thank you - he was amazing about cancelling our trip - said my health was the best present... But I've been struggling with feeling bad - keep trying to remind myself that there will be other, presumably better, trips post surgery.

I've gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. I go for in for my final one on 8/16/2016. Hopefully by then I'll have lost some weight

I've been approved despite gaining 5 lbs from my initial appointment. I'm so relieved. My surgery is 8/8 and I have BCBS federal.
