I've got my 2nd monthly check in tomorrow. Done the sleep study (waiting on results), Upper GI (good), blood work, etc. All that is going well.

My first check in, I only lost 3lbs in a month. I'm almost positive I gained that back this month, possibly more. I've been under a lot of unexpected stress and making bad choices, but I know that's no excuse. I should be more focused.

Did anyone gain or maintain during pre-op like this and have a problem with the doc? I know all programs are different but I'm just curious.

I'm scared they'll kick me out of the program. I'm supposed to lose 22lbs for my surgeon and since I started in June, I'm struggling big time. My insurance doesn't require anything specific, just the doc.

Anyone?

I lost a lb the first month, nothing the 2nd month and 2 lbs 3rd month. I wasn't required to lose anything though. They probably won't kick you out - but - you need to see if they can suggest a therapist to help you deal with emotional eating. You need to get it under control as much as possible pre-op. Good luck.

I lost when I did the liquid before surgery. Again they want to see how you are able to deal with food and a life style change. The more you can clear out those poor choices the better you walk will be postop. Stop now with sugar, pop, and breads and pasta. Protien vegetables and fruits you will feel amazing in a short time. The first week will be hard but you can do this!
