I had my surgery 8/15/16 I started at 341 wearing a size 30-32 pants. And 4x top. As of today I am now 127lbs and wear anywhere from a 1 to 5 pants and small to medium top. Congratulations on your loss!! Keep up the great work.

Meet ya there Friday!! Thank you for the support.

Thank you both! I sure will!!

Pre admission complete. Surgery Friday at 3 and under 300 lbs before surgery!! So excited!!! ❤ can't wait to begin this new chapter and regain my life back!!

My surgery got set back to 8/5 instead of 8/3 grrrrr

It's so mentally hard when all you're seeing is food and restaurant commercials. But you're right. Physically it's nowhere near as bad as I thought. It's all in my head lol

My surgery is 8/3. They only people that know are my immediate family and my supervisors.

Good luck to you as well! Keep us posted!

I'm 8/3

Day 3 of my pre op liquid diet and every other commercial or fb post is about food!!! I'm dying!!! Lol

Yay!! All these August 3rd buddies!!

Yay!!! So excited for you!!!!

Thank you!! Be there soon!!

Finally got my date!! Surgery is August 3rd!!! Can't wait!!

So I'm wondering if I'm just setting myself up for failure.

And you would consider yourself a "failure" if you didn't get down to 125 pounds??

You've got a long road ahead if that's the case. I think you will be thrilled when you get under 200. You'll assess things as you go along. Sometimes our bodies have other goal weights in mind. I'm the perfect example. I would have liked to get to 135 to make it an even 100 pound loss, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get there. I've even put on 3 pounds after maintaining for almost a year that won't come off. My body has a mind of it's own sometimes. So when a someone tells you "You can take it as far as you want!" that's not always true.

Like I said, be satisfied where ever you end up as long as you're healthy and happy.

I would like to get down to 125 lbs.

Do you mean you need to loose 125 or you want your weight to be 125?

Your goal will depend on a lot of things like your starting weight, your height and others.

Thank you so much. I'm anxious to get going. My Dr. Says it will be July but we don't have a set date yet. It seems like June is going sooooooo sloooooooow.

Is my goal of 125 lbs a realistic goal?

I had originally discussed with my Dr. that I really didn't have a goal weight in mind.

I just want to be healthy, which still holds true.

But now I do have a weight in my mind and it's 125.

So I'm wondering if I'm just setting myself up for failure.

I've only told my immediate family and my supervisors at work. I think I'm the same way and want to see some results first.

Thank you for the info!

I guess I start here.

I've been overweight since early childhood. I've done almost every diet imaginable. I've lost bunches of weight and regained that back and more. I don't have a set in stone date for surgery yet, but my Dr. says it will be I'm July.

I went to my initial consult March 21st. My pre op nutrition class is June 21st and then my appt with my Dr. Is June 28th.

I'm guessing I start my pre op diet then. Not too sure how that works.

I'm not nervous or worried about the surgery. What is scaring the heck out of me, is that I don't know what it's like to be a thin person.

Any advice or thoughts are most welcome. And I'm looking forward to joining you on the losers bench!!!
