I never thought the preop tests would end. So many. The whole thing is overwhelming and as odd as it sounds, they need to ensure you're healthy enough for WLS. So don't worry. You're certainly not alone in feeling this way.

I'll have my exact weight tonight, forgot to weigh this am.

I'm joining just to have motivation before my surgey.

I'm in need to lose 15 lbs before surgery. Not sure what my current weight is I'll check in with it later.

I cant do this challenge yet but I definitely want to be in for the next one! My procedure is May 14

This sounds like fun! My first time also.
My goal weight for the last check-in is 242.
Will I be able to add my name to the spreadsheet or do you do that? I've never done this before or even used a spreadsheet, I clicked on it, but I couldn't type anything in the square.

Does anyone know which sugery would be better for PCOS. The sleeve or bypass

Mine in July sometime also. I'm doing 6 month preop.

I'm in my first month of supervised diet, can't wait for the months to pass. I've lost about 15 in the last three weeks. Anyone else just starting their journey?

I'm not going to miss all the things mention in prior post but there might be afew things I will miss.
Being warm all the time in the winter not having to wear coat. Once weight is gone here come extra blankets and coats. Lol small price to pay but we'll worth it.
I may miss cokes. I haven't had a coke all week and yeah I miss it a bit. I'm sure it will get easier. I have a 6 month supervised diet and have to lose 20 lbs so 1 month at a time I'm giving up some bad habits. Lost 4 lbs in a week just giving up cokes.

I not sure why Jamaican came into this. Sorry I mean making new friends with similar goals.

OK nobody throw tomatoes at me, but even intense house cleaning can be great exercise! Vacuuming, scrubbing the floor, dusting, etc. Moving furniture aside to clean those spots not often cleaned. RAWR! Not the funnest of tasks, but once the weight started coming off I was so full of energy and loved being able to move without something hurting that housework almost seemed fun again...well, almost.

I want to get a rowing machine. I decide not to go with surgery and trying to lose weight naturally.

@jeniker3. I ended up buying a recumbent elliptical which has the ability to add muscle endurance, chest presses and leg presses to. I purchased it for this very reason and am doing well with it. I chose a recumbent elliptical because I have psoriatic arthritis and a regular elliptical causes a lot of pain in my knees and spine. My elliptical is made by Octane and I purchased it from 2nd wind. Unfortunately I had to buy it new because ellipticals are apparently favored by most and I could not get a used one.
I absolutely love it! I am on it most days if not every other. I have noticed a big difference in my arms and legs and I have only been using it since the end of November.
I don't know how toned my arms and legs will get, I am 51 and have already lost a lot of weight since my surgery on 9/29. I have a lot of loose skin..... However I would rather have that than the 72 lbs I have lost so far.
Good luck on your decision to purchase some type of equipment. I am so happy I have mine and it was worth every penny.

I'm not one to comment on such - ahem - personal things but heck, it's the female forum! LOL!
I've noticed I have way more interest and way more intensity when it does happen, and I've lost close to 45 pounds (started at 284 on the day of surgery). I find myself thinking about sex way more than before...yay. Husband now running away from me! Ha!
