Starting Weight.. When is it actually?

[fulamuso 32]

Wondering how you guys determine the starting weight? When you had surgery, or when you started the program with the surgeon?

Thanks!

I always went with starting weight as what it was on the day I went to my first appointment. So starting weight was the same as "heaviest" for me, then my surgery weight, and then current weight.

I determined mine by the first appointment I went to for that supervised diet thing. So yeah, it was when I started my surgeon's program.

I put my starting weight to the date of when I decided to schedule surgery. I did mine out of country so for folks using insurance your first appointment with your doctor.

To me, my starting weight is when I started my six month pre-op diet program.

Mine was the first appointment with the surgeon, and coincidentally the highest weight ever. Definitely take credit for what you lose before surgery!

I chose the highest weight recorded by the surgeon office (I gained one month while I should have been losing )
