So I have to ask: Are you getting rid of those clothes? I am starting to drop sizes but am so conditioned that I will regain that I keep the old clothes just in case. I know (and pray) that this will permanently work for me but a lifetime of ups and downs has left its mark.

Think positive and it will work for you how long doe's it take before the weight starts dropping a week a month

I'm 44 and my surgery date is June 24th. My highest weight 360lbs. My current weight 350lbs. I'm 5'9" and am not sure how much I should weigh, but I'm on 3 meds, back, joint, neck pain, etc. I've been approved by my insurance and my preop class is this Monday. Could they reschedule because I haven't lost a lot before surgery?

My surgery was on the 24th other than the gas pains I'm good

@2Bthin4me Hope you're feeling better. A temp still in the 90's is usually OK. That's why they say not to call unless it gets to a certain point. Just wondering what happened over the weekend?

I'm still feeling pretty tired but it's getting better every day. And, yesterday I got to go to pureed foods and boy was THAT good! Fat free refried Beans thinned down with a little chicken broth and blended. Yum! I love refried Beans anyway.

Had a very busy weekend and just made myself go do stuff so at least I would be active. Went to see a friend... we usually walk about 30 minutes around her neighborhood and chat. We did about 15 minutes and I was FRIED!!! Managed to play keyboards at church yesterday which requires standing up for 1 hour of practice before and then about 30 minutes worth of music, so THAT was good. I collapsed in the pew after the music but was proud I was at least able to do what I wanted.

Saw the doctor Friday and he told me I looked like a million bucks. I had actually taken time to put on makeup and nice clothes!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

So happy for you

I am having the bypass on the 16th! Good luck to you

I have my surgery today a little nervous but excited also this page is very supporting
