I had RNY and that's 16 pounds since surgery on September 8. I did not have a required liquid diet pre op.

awesome!

Your off to a fabulous start!

What wonderful results ! My date is 10/12. Excited and scared at the same time.

Unfortunately my surgery was postponed until my iron levels go up. It was scheduled for Monday im so disappointed..

Yeah!!!! My pre-op appointment is this afternoon.... 11 days until surgery! It is getting close!!!! ????????????

So sorry ????

Had my pre op appointment this morning! Everything is set for 9/25.

Started my all liquid diet today. Doing ok but have a killer headache.

So excited for next week!!

. I'm so sorry you have the delay, but that's just what it is. You'll be way stronger with your iron level up as you go for surgery.

One week post op appointment today-down 16 pounds! Everything looks good!

16 lbs in a week?! WOW! I lost 10 my first week. And I've been stuck on that same 10 since Tuesday, I'm getting frustrated. I know 10lbs is great in 11 days, but the scale hasn't moved in 5 days.

Anyhow, congrats!

that almost happened to me, mine was only 6.7 and had to get it to 10.5, I took 2 chewable Flintstone tablets with iron with orange juice and ate a can of beets everyday, day of surgery my iron was 10.7, best wishes to you

We are planning to do measurements tomorrow. I put on a pair of sandals today that would not Velcro around my ankle before surgery! Amazing what losing 16 pounds will do!

It's so awesome. I've lost many more inches than pounds

Such an amazing feeling. Been clearing out my closet this morning ... feels really good and motivating
