HOW MUCH WEIGHT DID YOU LOSE???

i lost 20 lbs on my preop!

15 so far in the last couple weeks surgery should be the 28th. Hoping for another eight which puts me right at 35bmi. I want to start as low as possible I'm a slow loser.

I only lost 10lbs and that was my fault.

I've lost 11 pounds since Sunday!! LOL.. got on the scale this morning.. 364.0!!! I can't believe I just typed my weight!! Yes, the weight I will NEVER be again!!!

Oh, my resp. therapist tried to weigh me on a 350lb max scale.. When I told her it wouldn't weigh me, she didn't believe me!! LOL... That was funny!

In my Kaiser Options group classes I had to attend, we had to lose 10% of our weight. I started the classes on June 1st. By the time I had my surgery on Oct 25th, I had lost 52 pounds on my own... :)

10lbs is still good! did u cheat?

I was real good until the 9th day when I got that call on a Friday telling me my insurance would not cover the hospital and I could not have my surgery. WTH-eck. So I got angry and rebelled for a day but quickly got back on track after asking for forgiveness. I found another sugeon and life is good. No doubt I would have lost more if they'd left me alone. But if I had not got that call I would have been banded. so it turned out to be a blessing.

hmmm.. todays my 9th day! i better not get that type of call. lol. well atleast all turned out well for you! a few people have encouraged me to cheat and although i really want to, im not going to. i dont want my hardwork & dedication to go to waste. i put all ive got into going to a billion & 1 dr appointments to get this surgery!

I remember thinking the same thing when I posted my starting weight!

I can't believe I just typed my weight!! Yes, the weight I will NEVER be again!!!

But you will never have to type that again (except when you are celebrating how far you've come!)

I was required to lose 10 and I ended up losing 20...over the course of 6 months...it wasnt all at once during pre-op. We had to lose 10% of excess body weight before they would schedule the surgery.

I lost 10 pre-op on a two week, protein shake breakfast/lunch and a lean and green dinner. I did cheat on the 2nd and 3rd day of it, though. It was my daughter's birthday and we had pizza and cake/ice cream. I was still so weak willed, but I was able to pull it together after that.
