Working in project management for a global company, I create and manage project schedules with major and minor milestones. While going thru this process, I wanted to create a milestone schedule for my "project", Me! I am coming up on my first major milestone, that I set for the first 30 days since surgery. BMI under 30. As of today, my BMI is 30.3 and I am 3 days from 1 month post op. I may not meet the 30 day milestone date, but only two more pounds and I will reach my 1st BMI milestone. This is a big deal for me, as I have not been under 30 BMI in over 15 years. What is/was your 1st major milestone? 😊

Who lost a lot before surgery?
Luna Girl replied to lizonaplane's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Good Luck with your surgery on Monday lizonaplane! Keep us updated! 😊 -
Even though my BMI was on the lower side, insurance paid due to high blood pressure and pre-diabetic. Took a little over a month from 1st office visit, pre-op tests, ins approval to surgery. My insurance did not require several months of weigh in's, only letter from PCP and psych eval. Out of pocket was $1800. Anthem BCBS P.S. I did slide into a cancellation spot, or it probably would have been longer for surgery date. P.S.S. I also did not wait for my surgeon's office to schedule my pre-op tests. I was very pro-active and reached out to hospital to schedule tests. Be your own advocate!

Estimated Weight Loss?
Luna Girl replied to greenwitch17's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The estimates are based on averages. Some lose more, some lose less. I honestly believe, if you embrace your drs plan, and change your relationship with food, you will be successful. Good Luck! -

Question about drink intake.
Luna Girl replied to 11Trapper's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was struggling to meet my daily water requirements until I went back to using a straw. Now, no issues on meeting/exceeding that daily water goal and no issues with excess gas. I always use a straw now. 🥤 -
This!! ☝️ I feel the same way! Congratulations on your weight loss!

No coffee, seriously
Luna Girl replied to nicole525's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was a 4-5 cup a day coffee drinker before surgery...haven't touched it since and honestly, do not really miss it. Hang in there...it does get better! -

Only regret is I wish I had done it sooner! I am enjoying my life again and spending more time with family and friends. It has been an adjustment, and I have had some challenging days, but I know, that my physical and mental health are so much better now! Good Luck!

Any April 2021 surgeries?!
Luna Girl replied to KidaandRoux's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not quite 4months for me yet (April 19th) but I am 7lbs from having a normal weight BMI! [total of 60lbs lost since I started this process] It has been years! I still eat mostly soft foods, fruit, salad. Cannot do chicken or scrambled eggs. But can do over easy eggs and tiny pieces of steak. Overall, energy level is good and heartburn is completely gone...thank goodness. Did not enjoy that at all! Been doing a lot of clothes "shopping" in my closet and a few totes of smaller sizes that I had stored away years ago. It has been fun! Best decision ever! 🙂 -
