Today I am embarking on a mission to lose hopefully 14lbs in 3.5 weeks... in reality if I just lose 8lbs I will be very happy - but probably won't accomplish what I am hoping for... as I will be back where I started at 4 months ago (pre-christmas) - I have my appointment with my surgeon on 6th May and he told me that if I lost X lbs then he would put me forward for skin surgery - at the time I thought it would be well manageable... in reality though these lbs are even harder to shift than pre-surgery...That said he is happy with the weight I am at now - its just the powers that be stipulate that I need to be a certain bmi before getting the skin removed.

So today its Protein only - I've done this before - I can do it again.. and hopefully now that I'm off all diabetes meds it won't be so hard to control - ie, I won't keep going into hypo mode due to lack of carbs.

You can do it, but remember you want to be at a stable weight before having skin surgery. If that means you need to wait another month or 2, so be it. You dont want to lose 10 pounds before surgery to just put it back on and start stretching out the new skin.

Thanks - I think that I will have a bit of a waiting time before the surgery anyway - I had to wait over 6 years for my original surgery! Things are crazy over here if you go through the NHS - I couldn't afford to go private..

I think I'd be happy to be 150 - just not sure what my bmi would be then... I'm ony 5ft tall though. How long have you been at 148?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
