Ignore all of that gibberish... Ha!!!

I'm going through Fremont... It's been pretty smooth sailing. I have two lbs of my pre-op weight and then I'm good to go. I hade my psych eval last Thursday. Met with my surgeon the week before. I was surprised to see how fast it's going.

Ikr....and yay i know your excited new journy so how much weight did you have to drop...if u dont mind me asking...i got weighed today and i am 270 so i will see tomorrow when i go of hoe much i got to lose..i just hope i can drop weight fast...

I was 233 when I got my referral (my highest weight... Ever). I was down to 222 at the time of my orientation and 217 during my surgeon consult (all within a month or so). I worked my butt off (literally) to try to drop it all ASAP! Ha! My surgeon told me that she wanted me to get down to 213 for my surgery goal weight. I have 2 lbs to go, and I'm at a stand still. My body is holding onto these last two lbs for dear life! LOL!

So to answer your question I believe it was 10% of my highest weight.

Have you did a laxitive to clean out....that might help.....

I am soo excited for you......

LoooooL! That is too funny that you asked that! I downed a bottle of magnesium citrate an took two dulcolax on my way home from work this evening. All I need to do is get the two lbs off, go weigh in at Kaiser to get it on record... And hold that weight until the day of my surgery... I figure if I can get down my two lbs, I can hold it. I think they said my surgeon is booked out a month to a month and a half at this point.

One day pre op diet sounds great! I have been reading about some people going through 2 week post op diets and that was kind of freaking me out!
