Hey, I'm 21 5'10 315 and my surgery date is October 15... I have to lose 20 pounds by then but I am extremely excited... Like I think about it everyday lol

Hi! I don't have a date yet but estimated early - mid September. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it. Unlike everyone else it seems all I'm doing is gaining weight on this 6 month pre req for insurance. Gah! R u excited?? Counting down the days?

How was medifast for u?

Medifast has been ok for me - I have never gotten to that "not hungry" stage that everyone talks about even when I have been in ketosis. I have always gained the weight back because I have never been able to successfully complete the transition phase. I am stuck at 185ish and have been for 2 years or so. I am 41 and pre-diabetic so I feel like this is my last option.

My 6 months of PCP visits will be done in September. Not sure how long it will take for my insurance company to approve and get a surgery date but I am so excited I can hardly stand it! Im hoping for an end of September/ beginning of October date! Good luck to everyone preparing for surgery soon!

Wow you guys have to wait six months?? I only have to wait three because I was a smoker and you have to wait three months after your last cigarette to get the surgery... My doctor put my date exactly 3 months after my last cigarette and told me to lose 20 lbs by then

Mexico 4500 200 month payment can't wait for Sept 3rd i love this app it has help me so much and all of you guys are great

My 6 months is also up in september and i have the same estimated time for surgery. my insurance only takes a week to a week and a half to decide, but im guessing i will have to submit it more than once.

Im really excited to hear all of your progress. I also feel that i am gainin weight on this 6 month diet, but i had an acl surgery and gained 5 lbs and am in the process of getting it off, not happy about it. As far as the medifast. I never heard about the 'not hungry stage of ketosis.' I didn't feel hungry after awhile though. the only time i was actually hungry was having to watch people eat. if i got out of the room or kept myself busy it wasn't too bad. This forum keeps me sticking to my plans and keeps my hopeful. I love to hear success stories and nsvs!

I'm a dealer in Vegas and we get a break every hour and we go into the edr we can go through the line and get whatever we want to eat i will now be in the locker room every break i will keep my drinks in my locker

Really that is awesome, my boyfriend lives in Henderson. I do in home care so I get to watch my clients eat after i cook for them. It's the fumes that get me! I couldn't imagine having a whole line full of food, but are you allowed to go outside. I would go get a breath of fresh air maybe?

Its so hot outside and all the smokers its really not fun

I've gained about 5 pounds since this journey began... my thinking (which I know is so bad) is, I'm not going to enjoy this food ever again so I need to enjoy it now. Today I have started journaling and I'm joining the gym. My NUT made a great comment in that the surgery is pretty life altering, trying to eat healthier and begin a workout regimen is too much at one time. I'm pretty excited... wish me luck!

Luck!! My mind has been awful with it. I have some autoimmune issues already suffering with fatigue- took myself off those meds as I truly believe this surgery and weight loss will help- but in the process of jumping through hoops I've gained a bunch. And it's hot and humid and I don't do well with that. I feel like a whiner. I am . Really though- lots of luck and happiness sent your way :-)
