OK so I am six months and a couple days post open and just got off the scale and I have achieved my initial preop goal of 160. I realized about 30 pounds ago that wouldn't be enough. I am so grateful for this opportunity and what I have lost so far but.......I still have 10-15adittional pounds 5 will put me at a normal bmi 15 will put me at a cushion weight where if I fluctuate 5 lbs its OK. So if you are preop just know he goal you should set is to happy and the number goal you set is just a guideline that may go up or down as long as you are healthy and happy!

Thanks for that. It helps so much to hear success stories. Congrats on your loss I can't wait to be where you are!
