after my last weigh before submitting to the insurance company I was at exactly 41.8 and was told to hold steady. I was approved with my only medical issue being my bmi. my pre op diet is she for Breakfast and lunch sensible meal and 2 low fat high Protein Snacks. The goal is to stay above 40 until after surgery, sadly ive gained 2 lbs but im thinking its Water weight sd june 1

I was high BMI and had no health issues and was approved within a few days of submitting to my insurance.

Take credit for being a weight lifter...All of us carried/lifted our excess body weight. You are stronger than you think you are.
I was a couch potato. I knew exercise was a requirement. It was a chore at first. I had to decide if I wanted to waste this opportunity or get what I wanted out of it.
Motivation: Find what is fun and excites you. Reward yourself for the big and little goals. Document each month. Save a pair of pants.(If you have days you struggle put them on). Join a gym,Get involved with weight loss challenges, sporting events, fun physical activities, charity events and just savor life before it's gone.

We have a right, and possibly a duty to correct our mistakes of the past. There is bankruptcy for those who blew it financially. There is divorce for bad relationship choices. And there is WLS for those of us who at some point made bad food decisions. Without these remedies, people would be forever punished for some bad decisions. These are tools. They don't free you from future responsibility. They just give you a new start.
AND IT AIN'T ANYONE'S BUSINESS

don't worry about what other people think. you're going to be in your 40s soon, and one of the wonderful things that has happened to me as I have gotten older is I really don't give a d*mn about other people's opinions.
You're not a failure if you choose WLS, in fact I think you're a winner. if you had any other sort of disorder no one would judge a bit for choosing surgery to help correct it. why should obesity be any different?

That's awesome! A month flies by real fast! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App
