Thanks jewel. I've heard it's easier to loose the first 6 months!!! I think that's a great idea to shoot below goal!!!! I've never thought of this but it makes since!!! Thx

Honestly Bruce a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Unless you are a board certified bariatric surgeon I'm not sure you know what your talking about lol I've heard of BMIs as low as 28 needing surgical intervention due to obesity with comorbidities....

Me to. The roller coaster is getting old!!! At the rate I'm going I'll be morbidly obese with severe health issues in the next few years! I want to nip it in the bud and get it controlled now! I think this will really work for me! What are you doing for your post op diet? I'm worried I'll loose to much before hand if I do liquids for a week before but I need to shrink my liver?!?

I've heard that also! Thx

I was a food addict just like you describe! I'm proud to say I've kicked the habit! Food has become to me a means to fuel my body. My hunger is way less than it used to be I can control it. Eating is less enjoyable than before it's hard to explain. I'm 8 weeks out and down to 167 from 207. I eat super low carb and that helps with craving bad crap. Once you have it done your feelings about food change completely! Plus your body detoxes from all the crap and you feel different and foods taste different. It's pretty cool!

I had a low BMI starting out of like 30 so I expected weight loss to be slow but it's not its rocketing off!!! I'm 5'9

That's 44 pounds in just under 11 weeks ????
I'm working out super hard and counting carbs! I do cardio 3-4 times a week and lift weights 5-6 times a week. The hard work is paying off the weight is melting off!!! I tried on jeans at a store yesterday and was in a size 6 again!!! I can't believe it!!!
I follow the rules to a T! I have not had a single cheat or carb that is not from fruits and veggies! I eat super clean and it's working!!! Good luck everyone. What a awesome tool this has been for me and can be for you as well!!!

I'm also not telling anyone about mine except my mom who is having it done the same day! I don't care if it falls off slow I know it will be a long process I know, I just don't want to gain anymore and eventually be small again! Good luck to you also!!!

Yes that's why I'm not telling people I don't want to hear the your not fat speeches! I am or I wouldn't get asked if I'm pregnant all the time lol!!! I carry my weight in my boobs and tummy! I'm a classic apple with little legs and arms My face is getting big now and my head changed shape and that is my final straw!! I don't recognize myself anymore I'm 5'7 and about 205-210. I can work my butt off for months in the gym with clean eating and get down to 185 ish but can never maintain it! I have to work out 2 hours a day cardio and weights and eat 500-800 calories only a day to get there:( Which isn't realistic for anyone to keep at when I work 50 hours a week (4 12 hour shifts as a RN) The struggle is real! I can't wait to get to Tijuana get this done and begin a new way of eating and living!
