Where Are You in Your Weight Loss Journey?

I'm two years post-op and have been at goal for 15 months. I always swore if I managed to get to goal on WW again, I was going to teach after so I would stay at goal. I stay active on this forum to help me keep myself at goal and to help others.

I have been overweight all my life. I am now 37 years old and decided to have WLS. I had my first appointment with my bariatric Dr. On April 25th and after doing my psych eval, gi test and a couple other things the request was sent over for approval. I received the approval notice a week later and now have a surgery date of June 24th! I go for my pre-op this Friday, June 7th. I'm super excited and scared I won't make it through the 10 day liquid diet. Congrats to all the success stories posted here. You are truly an inspiration to me!

Wow! I just looked back on my pre-op diet, I had surgery 6/19/13 and as of today I lost 95lbs. I didn't drink as much Water for a week and my weight loss went into a stall, now I'm drinking at least 64oz of water daily, I don't count the other liquids I drink and none of its carbonation. My foods I eat are only foods that have Protein in it, I have had a couple of bouts with mind hunger but I got through that by getting back on track. I have a ways to go still but I feel much better. Good luck on your journey on your weight loss.

I'm in the process of getting all my clearances, cardiology, pulmonary, etc. So ready for this. I'm hoping for 2nd week in November. Current weight 260. I'm a solid girl so many people tell me I don't look this heavy, but I am going to be so happy when I can strip off the layers of clothes that I hide under.

You sound like me. Just getting approvals done now, and hoping for surgery in Dec. I'm at around 265 at 5'8, BMI at 40, so insurance said I'd be a candidate for the sleeve. I've been this high for about 9 years. Yo yo dieting has made my hunger levels go through the roof! I'm always hungry. I'm hoping some of that will subside with the surgery.
