Karla B. reacted to Diana_in_Philly in How much weight were you required to lose?
In April 2016, I was 271.5. Surgery day (8/23/16) I was 246.9. I committed to getting my head in the game and eating better and exercising.
I'm 13 months out and 102 pounds down.
I found a personal trainer I liked in my pre-op stage and worked with her until I hit my 1 year mark. (She moved to Colorado for graduate school, so I'm working on finding someone new currently.)

Or did you have to lose any before surgery?
My nutritionist wants me to lose 25 lbs. by March. It shouldn't be too hard. When I was weighed I was probably bloated and retaining Water so I'll probably lose 5-10 the first week.
My wife and I are getting the surgery and we both started eating better yesterday. I'm eager for the surgery but am glad I'm doing something about it now and hopefully will lose a decent amount in 6 months.
