Hello everyone, well I have to lose 130 pounds to get the sleeve because my surgeon thinks it's unsafe to do this at my current weight. I started out at 579. I'm down to 537. It's only been three months. I lost 18 pounds the first month, 15 the second and today I was weighed in and only lost 9.... 9 flipping pounds lol. I don't know what happened. I have been following the diet religiously... She asked about my Water intake it has went down quite a bit. So I guess I'm not drinking enough water.. my daily calorie intake is between 1,000 and 1,500.. I'm not sure how someone with my weight and only consuming those calories can only lose 9 pounds... it really makes you lose motivation.. Ughhhhh 9 pounds :-/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anybody else have a really strict surgeon? He wants me to lose 130 pounds before I get a surgery date! This is rough man! If I could lose that much weight in the first place I wouldn't need the surgery lol! Well have a great Saturday peeps! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just wondering how much you have lost in a year? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well don't feel to bad! At least you're going in the right direction again! I too have messed up big time. I quit seeing my nutritionist and Doctor and gained 60 pounds back so I now have to lose 80 pounds total before even getting the surgery. Now I'm back on track and seeing it through. Best of luck! Keep going you got this! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone have the Medicaid, United healthcare community plan in New Jersey? Just wondering if they cover the sleeve surgery! Also and did you have to do a supervised diet
