His is my first post. I am scheduled for surgery on July 30, and am presently on the pre-op fasting diet. I have already felt some results! I can't wait for my visit to the nutritionist to see how much I've already lost.

I am happy to see this forum because in surfing the internet, I was only seeing results of 120-150 pounds. My initial goal is to lose 200 lbs., but more than that would be great too!

Welcome guys technically I need to lose 188 - but its close to 200! Best of luck on your upcoming surgery!

I am glad to see this forum as well. I see a lot of people on the site that were low BMI or no where near what I weigh. I am glad to see there are some other people like me....so a big HELLO to everyone here!

Hello,

I was the same when I joined. Sorry we work kgs. But I started at 155kg (340 pounds) I am hoping to lose about 70-80 kgs (176 pounds)

Good luck to you all.

I am currently 2 weeks post op and have lost 15 kgs since pre op diet. (33 pounds) in about 4 weeks.

I would really like to hear from other people that have to or need to lose that amount. Would really like to ask about excess skin.

I need to lose 203 pounds.
