I have been on a special diet since Nov 7 to lose 60 lbs. I had to before they would schedule me for surgery. Well I reached my goal this past Monday and now have a date of April 8. Well I have a nutrition class this Thursday and I'm sure they will weigh me. I have gone off my diet twice this weekend. Eating at Bob Evans and Texas Steakhouse. Now I feel guilty and worried that I've gained weight and they won't give me my date. Of course next Monday I start my pre-opt diet which is 4 weeks. I know I'll lose during that. I'm just worried.

YAY!!! So happy for you!! I am looking forward to being able to ride a bike! haha It seems silly but I have two nephews I love so much, and I haven't been able to enjoy running, playing, or riding bikes because of my weight! I'm hoping by the end of summer I'll be zooming around town with them, instead of watching from the yard! When reaching my goal. I want to go back to nursing school. How about you?

I just scheduled today for the 8th!!! So happy for both of us Sent from my KFOT using VST

Thank you so much!!! I did get my surgery date!!! It's April 8th!! I'm so excited. This is something I have prayed for and about for a year! It's finally happening!

Tomorrow is my appointment with my nutritionist because I have finally lost the 60 lbs I had to loose before they would schedule me for surgery! I am praying that everything goes good!! I am a little worried though because when I weigh myself I weigh myself first thing in the morning in my nightgown! I know that clothes add's pounds, as does Water weight you gain through out the day from drinking, hormones etc. I did weigh myself in the outfit I am going to wear (yes I did), and weighed myself between 10 and 10:30 today (my appt. is at 10), and I weighed 3 lbs more than I did earlier that morning. So please pray that they take off for clothes and water weight etc. Or pray that I'm close enough they just go ahead and schedule. I have been waiting a year for this, and have worked my butt off since Nov. 2012 to get down 60 lbs. Once I'm schedule I'll have to lose 15 more lbs, making that 75 total before surgery. They talked about making me do a 4 week pre-opt diet, so I'm not too worried about loosing those last 15. Even with a two week I think I would be OK. Everyone just pray that I can get my surgery date tomorrow! Thank You!!!! PS. would it be too anal of me to take a picture of my scale and print it out so I have prove that my scale weighs me 60 lbs less? lol

Congrats and best of luck during recovery! Keep us updated! Sent from my KFOT using VST

I haven't had surgery yet but the one thought I'm going in with is to remember that everyone's experience is different. Some have tons of pain and a hard first few days. Others get through it like it was nothing. I pray you have a smooth surgery and a swift painless recovery! Keep us updated! Sent from my KFOT using VST

I guess I'll jump in here, even though I haven't been sleeved yet (I will be in April) I had to be put on a diet to lower my BMI. I started at 422 and I'm now down to 368 since Nov.12, 2012. So the first pic was taken Nov 12, and the after was taken this morning. I hope you don't mine me posting since I haven't been sleeved yet.

I hope I look as good as you do at 4.5 months!! I am 5'4. I just hope I don't shrink I can't lose anymore inches on my height..lol.

I am pre-opt now and have a lot to lose. So this is what I was thinking. 50 lbs - Make-up shopping spree. I love make-up. 100 lbs - A pair of really nice boots. Sexy boots!!! 150 lbs - A new tattoo something that represents my journey. Goal weight - Vacation to the ocean. Either Florida or Oregon. Sent from my KFOT using VST

They want me to lower my BMI I am almost there. I seem to have stalled. Eh.. I will make it I hope Sent from my KFOT using VST

Congratulations!!!! How tall are you? I'm starting out around the same weight Sent from my KFOT using VST

I really hate my scale. I have to lose 75 pounds before I can have surgery. I have to lose 60 before they will schedule. I have lost 55 lbs. I am right there. I even have an appointment on the 28th to weigh in at the office. I started at 424 I am now 369 and my scales (I have two) have started to give me different readings. Meaning I will weigh myself with the green scale three times and each time it gives me a different readings. Then I'll weigh myself with the white scale. Same thing. Three different readings. I know the two scales never read the same. But I would think the same scale would give the same reading. Maybe I need to chill and relax. Sent from my KFOT using VST
