So it looks like I will be having surgery in February! I wanted to share my excitement in the amount of weight I've been able to loose in the last 4 weeks because it's the most I've been able to loose in a very long time. I weighed 280 almost 4 weeks ago and as of today I weigh 268. This is the smallest I've been in 18+ months. By surgery I need to weigh 257 and a small part of me is nerves I wont get to that weight because the 12 pounds I've already loss is the most I've been able to loss on a diet before.

You can do this!!! Congrats on the weight loss so far and for getting a date!!

Thank you!!!!

Congratulations. You will be shocked on how fast the time goes between planning and approval and actually sitting in preop holding.

I had to do a 6 month supervised diet as a requirement, but wasnt given a minimum amount he wanted me to lose.

There is lots of support here on the site.
