Did you need surgery to get your stomach that flat

I know to some, this might even seem silly... but for several years, I've been over 300 lbs. Before I even decided on this route, I'd been trying every damn diet i could think of to lose weight. I remember 3 times, or got down to the verge of getting under 300 lbs. But I never could quite tip the scale. I'd teeter totter on the edge, but never made it under.
The day I started the pre-op diet, I was 333.6 lbs. March 6th, the day of surgery, I was 310.2
Today, I weighed, and I am 298.0
I realize it's just 35 lbs and I still have a long road, but I cried. I haven't seen less than 300 lbs on the scale in over 3 years.
I'm so grateful. For the first time, I actually feel like I got this. And I am so glad for this app. I just had to share my joy with someone. I felt like I was about to pop.

So since im so excited and ready to start, and my appointment isnt till the Mar 21 i decided to start doing some healthy changes today.
Today i am 280lbs
No more sugar, bread, rice, starchy vegetables, Pasta etc.
This is huge cause there goes 3/4 of the foods i eat.

Hey, just wondering if your stall is over yet? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I was 6 weeks in and only lost 8lbs between my 2 week post op appointment and my 6 week. Devastated to say the least. The nurse practitioner was happy about it and looking at the overall picture that I've lost 41 lbs since pre op diet. Made me feel okay, but couldn't help but still beat myself up. Then I met with my NUT and going over what I'm eating she was like yeah you need to eat more even if it's a couple of bites because your body is in starvation mode, so I started eating more and the weight started coming off again. Use your stall as motivation evaluate what you're eating (or in my case not eating) and see what you can do to break that stall!

You weight training... A fabulous thing, but it will cause you to gain muscle... And you could be in a stall, i know you want to see more numbers on the scale, your excited to see the changes... But keep at it, maybe up your Protein you will see some changes, i figure mass is more important then weight.

I got the call check in is at 5:15 am. chicken broth for dinner. My last meal as this person

Update: March 2nd. Surgery was moved up one week.

I'm also getting sleeved today! I agree with dale.a, I'm calmer than I thought I would be. I'm just ready to get this done! Good luck everyone!

Wish you luck, I too am getting sleeved today. Surprisingly I am rather calm at the moment. I think I have gone though all the nervousness and questioning over the past week and am ready to get this done.

Its not only the o2 monitoring its the fact that nail polish and tips and those things can harbour bacteria... No matter how much you clean them they arnt ever really clean... So some places wont let you do to the risk of infection... Trust me if you ever seen a staph infection in a surgical wound you'd understand where they're coming from. Where i work anything on your nails is completely banned, its simply not worth the risk to the patients or the risk to bring something home.

I put PB2 in my chocolate premier shake. It was awesome.
