October 2024 Surgery Buddies

[NeonRaven8919 533]

Hi!

If you're having surgery in October of 2024, join here!

It's nice to have support and we can all follow and support each other together!

My Surgery Date (Sleeve) is 7th of October. Starting weight is 122.5kg (270lbs) As far as I know, that's the highest I've ever been.

Weight loss since starting pre-op diet: 10.4 kg (22.9 lbs)

Weight loss on Surgery Date: TBD

Let's do this!

Surgery is in 4 1/2 days (10/01) and the nerves are real! I know logically that I have done everything they have asked of me, but I still keep thinking I've screwed up.

Starting Weight- 350

Current Weight- 325

Still a few days remaining to see what what I can lose on 5 shakes a day for the next 4 days.

Hii hope all is well with all of you,

my surgery day is 10/29

highest weight 314 2 plus years ago

starting weight 286

current weight 283

my weight has been up and down from 286 to 283 and it has stayed that way for the past 3 months, I guess good thing is I haven't gained any weight.

good luck to all of us in our new journey

Hi, I’m new here and I’m scheduled for 10/21/24 and just starting to eat every 3hrs. Hard! Not on full pre op diet yet though until my next appointment with nutritionist on 10/01. Looking forward to a group and of course the surgery.

Forgot to add numbers

I'm 35 and I've always been overweight. I think I was even born overweight! lol! My mother always said I was her heaviest baby, but the doctor said I had a large frame. Being active and exercising always physically hurt after I developed a hip problem around 12 and then getting bullied about not being good at sports just made me stop trying. Up and down with every diet and no luck. I'm looking forward to being a "normal" weight for the first time in 35 years!
