I saw a percentage of 70 something but Id prefer hearing the numbers doctors usually tell you. Im bigger (284) so I might lose more at the beginning.

I know all of the above. What I want to know is why some doctors want some to do it for one or two weeks, why some aren't told too, and if the liver is xrayed prior to.

Hey ladies, and gents, can any ladies that started near my stats give me your stats? I'm 5'6 currently 280, hoping to be 260 by surgery (July.) So anyone from 260-280 can you tell me how much you have lost, your goal size, your current size and how many months out you are. If you have before an after photos that would be nice too. Also can you tell me about your excess skin? Thanks.

You can have as MANY thoughts as you want, however where exactly did I say I couldn't do two weeks? You have seen only this post and assume that I couldn't. I asked a simple question about a two week diet, which I am entitled to. So please don't assume. Just a thought.

Bronx, NY in the house hahaha.... finally joined this group after much people telling me to join. Hello to all.

imo blood=ER

I know my mom will be such a hattttter! When I was smaller she gave me no words of encouragement. Occasionally she would say "that top looks nice," but it was almost like she didn't want to. She has issues with emotions. I was looking pretty good. God help her once I get down to that weight, minus sixty more, plus I'm cute.. Good grief. Sorry, just had to toot my own horn for a second.

Yep, a little over two weeks ago. What part of Brooklyn do you live in? Assuming you are from Brooklyn, lol.

I buy puréed foods from blossom foods dot com. They are the perfect size and high Protein low calories meals.

My Dr. gave me a flyer for Bariatric Advantage. So far their reps have been very helpful. I like the idea that they have prepackaged items specifically for pre and post op diets...Takes the guess work out of it...

I have been thinking of ordering a few boxes of the Medifast breakfasts - they have Cereal (like cheerios) and oatmeal. I think they have 11 grams of Protein per serving and their servings sizes are small. There was another company I saw that has prepared meals like healthy choice but I don't remember who it was. And I like their hot cocoa too but it doesn't settle well with me - too much dairy.

I can do anywhere kid friendly. Park sounds great.

Mine was on the 30th too! I've lost 13 since surgery day and lost 14 preop for a total of 27lbs. I'll pm you.

6 weeks out, going for follow up today.. Threw away my scale.... Was in a looooooong stall, wish me luck!!

When I popped my head in months ago, there was maybe one July sleever, now there are plenty. It's exciting anywho, how much have you lost so far? Include your date.

July 30 was my surgery, and I'm ten pounds down.

I buy lots of ProtiDiet foods from "nashua nutrition dot com". The vanilla pudding is sooo good. I had the beef vegetable Soup last night and it was good too. The blueberry pancakes are totally just like blueberry pancakes. At the same web site they have Health Smart foods and the cheesecake pudding is good, the best thing they have is Caramel Nut bars because they taste just like a snickers! Yummy! I also bought Hot Cocoa, lots of flavours of drinks, oatmeal, chili, soy nuts, soy puffs. It's all been pretty good.

Curious with the options I will have until then I'll be on cloud 9 by myself

Correction: I have a managed health plan provided by Medicaid. Same thing to me, but might be considered different depending on who you are talking to.

I have Medicaid and its covered if necessary like PP said.

Who knew a busted lip could be so joyous! Ouch!!

Ha ha ha. Skinny people would never understand this one.

I was able to "resume sexual activity" yesterday, after my 2 week post op appt. And with 24 lbs gone, it was like a whole new world, felt like a new person. Just wanted to give you pre-surgery people something to look forward to!
And I guess I could all that a Non-scale Victory also! heehee
