Don't have to but I can. He just wants me to have at least 70 grams protein with no more than 30 carbs. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Prepop officially starts today. Though it's 3 weeks I'm very fortunate it's just high protein low carb. No liquids only. But of course now that I've started I want a whole mess of fruit [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh my goodness how awesome! Keep up the momentum Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 4ft 11in with a HW of 275. BMI chart says 95-125 but that seems ridiculously low to me. So I'm shooting for 150 and see how I feel/look then. Just want to be able to get in and out of bed without losing my breath [emoji38] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've been wondering about this too as I do med/surg... Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

What is your plan to avoid hair loss? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I also like 600LB life (and the where are they now episodes) but there is another one called Family by the Ton and shows 4 people in one family going through the process together.

Thanks for this, I'm 4"11 and have been wondering the same thing. I'm at 272 so my BMI is 55. So yeah, definitely not in a healthy range though people don't see it. I'm ok with losing slower though. Hopefully, it will give my skin some time to adjust.... Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for the heads up! It is good to know that though there may be struggles, determination can help us push past it.

Bah I'm starting my 3 week pre-op. This thing is really around the corner!

@Mhy12784 thanks so much this was really helpful

Makes sense. I just know how my stomach feels when I have lactose now so don't want to risk milk or anything. But, I'll try a few things out.

This is a very good question. For me, losing on 60% would leave me at 183lb and that is way too close to 200lb for my comfort. I'm hoping determination and doing the right thing will get me closer to my goal.

Girl, I've been had one. And they're amazing! Ended up getting one for every bathroom in my house so people wouldn't have to fight anymore. Also got one for my parents. They love it too.

No worries you'll be double dutching soon!

Aaahhhhhh!!!! Thigh gap? One can dream and I am. Too exciting!

How nice! This is such a great look for you. Thanks for sharing your story!

Oh snap! It's transformation pics like this that give us encouragement. Thanks! Looking good!

Hey, all! For those of you who are post-op: have any of you tried the clear protein drinks? If so, what's your favorite brand/flavor? Wondering if they are worth stocking up on especially since I'm lactose intolerant.

Woot woot! Great job. Looking good!
