I started at 420 trying to get to 370 for a surgery date of 3/9/15. I got to 395 and agreed to follow post diet to the letter to keep surgery. Today I can say it is worth every dime I paid. I am at 328.8# and halfway to my goal of 230.
You can do this. Stay focused and take up a sport for your new energy.

Still trying to stay true to the diet to get to my surgery date

My name is Bill. 42 years ago when I married my wife I weighted 195. Over the years going from working outside with my hands for 30 years and then migrating to an inside job where my daily activity level was decreased and my mental load was increased, I tended to gain additional weight.
Over the years I have tried several different diet plans but have had little to no success. 6 years ago I had looked into Gastric Sleeve surgery {relatively new at the time} as an alternative to my never ending with obesity. Being the procedure was new, the bariatric clinic I was seeing didn’t perform that surgery yet. They in turn referred me to the HMR Diet center attached to their office as an alternative to the surgery. I was at 410 lbs.
Thru HMR {doctor supervised diet utilizing Protein shakes & meals along with weekly counseling} I was able to get to 335 lbs. in 5 months but after going off the shakes, within a year I was right back where I started plus 10 more.
I have restarted this journey after visiting the local bariatric center here in Myrtle Beach, SC. Conway Metabolic & Bariatric Center has a great track record of Gastric Sleeve procedures and I am confident that this is the path to follow to achieve my goal weight of 235-245 lbs. by April 2017. In mid-January 2015, I began this new journey by setting a daily calorie intake goal of < 2000 thru the end of the month. Feb 1, I decreased this goal to <1200 cal a day {knowing that starting 2/15/15 I would be starting a bariatric diet of 800 cal a day until my surgery date in March.
As of 02-22-15.I have decreased my daily intake to less than 500 cal @ day. My bariatric diet consists of 2.5 – 17oz containers of Muscle Milk Light RTD per day giving me 490cal, 75 g Protein, 5 g carbs and 0 g sugar. Thus far I have lost 27 lbs. but need to lose another 28 lbs. before surgery can be performed {per doctor}.
As of today March 2nd I am still 20 lbs. above the required weight for surgery and have a final meeting with the doctor this Thursday at which time I will find out if he will postpone surgery or go ahead with it….I have altered my diet for the last week to 2-17oz containers of muscle milk light and 1-20oz bottle of Isopure Zero {for less carbs and the same amount of protein}
