I am 7 months out and this is my experience. I worked out prior to my surgery. For about 5 month....I did a lot of muscle building and cardio using bodybuilding.com. I have alot of muscle now and I do not have excess skin except on my stomach and it is not much. You can see my muscle now....I continue to build muscle now since my surgery so I havent lost muscle tone....I have lost more fat. I have lost almost 90lbs I think 88 to be exact. My surgeon said it because I built up so much before my surgery. I dont look like a bodybuilder though. I look feminine.

Sorry thay you are dpressed about this. If you would like to chat about it we can. It may just be your body but believe me your body will lose what it needs lose. 39lbs is a lot of weight in 4 months. That is about 10 lbs per month....Just keep doing what you are doing. I dont know if you work out at all but weightlifting/strength training really helped me start pulling of the pounds.

Dense protein.....red meat. I had the same problem. Once I put red meat in my diet I stay satisfied. I use eggs for snack.

I have BCBS federal and once I was done My approval was within 1 1/2 weeks. I was told by my clinic that it is the easiest. As long as you have done everything and packet is put together properly, You will get you approval quick.

My diet is similar to the OP. I came home on puréed and transitioned to soft foods one week out. I haven't had a problem. I make sure my food ate moist and soft. Mostly boiled meats, (chicken and turkey and fish) oatmeal. Eggs and stuff like that.
