I am still pre op. insurance requires 3 month supv weight loss program and I am 1.5 months into that. First month I lost 5 lbs. i thought that was great for me considering my eating habits were atrocious and I all but killed my metabolism. I was only eating once a day, usually around 6 - 8 pm at night with 2 cups of coffee in the morning. Maybe once or twice a wk I would get a sandwich chips and soda at about 2 am.

Then I started month 1 of the supv diet. I actually expected to gain weight the first month, while my metabolism was attempting to find itself, but miraculously, I lost the 5 lbs. now here I am 2 weeks into the 2nd month and I dont feel like I lost an ounce. My clothes still feel the same fit as always so it isnt that I may be losing inches.

The thing is, I wont weigh myself since no 2 scales are the same. I am just waiting until my appt with the NUT to get weighed and find out. I just feel nothing is happening. I even started walking, ALOT, and as soon as I recuperate from an awfully painful pinched nerve, I plan on adding another form of exercise.

I think I am just feeling sorry for myself and wanted to vent.

You seem o be doing fine. A lot of people don't lose weight on their preop bc thy are afraid of going to a lower BMI and being denied. Just stick to it and you will be more healthy for surgery even if the weight doesn't come off. Good luck!

Oh and it's ok to vent, we are here for support. Just don't get stuck there for your own benefit.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. I have no choice but to stick with it. This is a lifestyle change and I might as well do right by myself now, so I will be well used to it post op.

I was such a pepsi addict that I think cutting out the soda completely and reducing my coffee to one a day just rubbed me the wrong way today.

Tomorrow I will keep on keeping on.

I love your plan to keep on keeping on!

You are really similar in weight to me when I had surgery a month ago, and honestly, I'm only just now starting to notice my clothes a little looser--and that's 24 pounds down from my start weight. And from what I hear, it will be about 30 pounds down before friends and family will start to notice!
