Everyone is different, but that seems like a pretty safe # to expect. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! You're going to make your seamstress crazy with your dress though :P

40 lbs before November - I think so! I have lost 30lbs in one month since surgery. I was a lower BMI ( I was 5'5 210) but it is just falling off of me. I make sure to follow all of the things my surgeon tells me!

I agree the seamstress is gonna go nuts with you! :) Good luck and prayers to you.

I understand your concern. While there's no way to know for sure, chances are that you will lose enough to feel happy and proud of the way you look in eight months. I had surgery on Nov. 27 and wanted to lose 40 pounds before my vacation in late January. I lost 25, felt happier, fit into smaller clothes and hiked in Hawaii! Don't worry about it. It will all work out just fine for you!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
