I'm 5'5, and my surgery weight was 409, so I fell into the super obese category. I was actually 440 at the start of the program. I had RNY done via laparoscopic surgery and I've had no issues or complications.

Hi, everyone. Just doing a quick check in. I had my surgery 1/30/18. HW was 440, surgery weight was 409. I'm currently at 295. I feel like I'm losing slowly, but so happy to be in 2's. I have a long way to go, but thankful for where I am now. Congrats to everyone on their weight loss!

I'm seeing some movement from the scale finally. Surgery was 1/30/18 Program Starting Weight - 440 lbs SW - 409 CW - 370.4 lbs

I'm in Rochester, NY. I only had to do clear liquids the day before surgery, and nothing else after midnight.

No, I was told at the first nutrition appt that by the end of the 3 months required, I had to lose the 5%. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Based on my insurance, I had to lose 5% of my weight to qualify.

Thank you @MsTipps and @Marc76 for the encouraging words. I truly appreciate it. And congrats on your weight loss as well, Marc! That's awesome.

Yes, I do. I know I have to stop comparing, but I see people saying they've lost like 30-40 lbs in 2 weeks and I'm like, well what the hell am I doing wrong?

Hey everyone. So, I had surgery Jan 30th. Starting weight in Sept was 440. I went into surgery weighing 404. Came home from the hospital at 409 and now I'm 395. It's been 3 weeks and I feel like the weight loss is so slow. I'm following my plan and trying not to get frustrated. Any words of advice?

I'm home and feeling okay. Just sore and tired. I had my gallbladder removed, as well. It's hard trying to get these protein shakes and fluid in. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone! I'm doing okay, just very sore. I had my gallbladder out also and the Dr said it was tough to get out. I had a lot of stones in there. I've been sipping water and a protein shake today. I should be going home in the morning. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much! I have to be to the hospital at 11am and surgery is at 1pm. Good luck and prayers to everyone else having surgery. I'll check back in when I can. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm excited and so nervous. Are you ready? I have to call Monday to find out what time surgery is. I'm thinking about starting an Instagram page for my progress. I have a regular page already, but think it would be cool so have a separate one for weight loss.

I'm having the bypass and my date is Jan 30, as well!!

My surgery is Jan 30, as well. I'm having the bypass. I went to a seminar in Aug 2017 and started the whole process in Sept. I've lost 30 lbs since Sept, and looking forward to a new me. Good luck to everyone!

Yes! So excited for the changes we're about to go through :-) I have my pre-op appoinment and testing this Fri.

Mine is Jan 30. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.

I finally got a surgery date yesterday. Surgery will be Jan 30th! I'm so excited and so nervous.

I had to lose 22 lbs to be approved. I just went to my final nutrition appointment yesterday and I met my goal. I lost a total of 24 lbs since Sept. I made sure to eat a protein and veggies/fruit at all meals, and cut out all bread and pasta. I also drank only water.
