I started this whole process because in December I found out I had to get a midline abdominal muscle resection and complete abdominal wall repair- due to multiple(4) large (largest is 5") complicated reoccurring hernias... went to a surgeon and he said lose 40lbs we'll do the surgery... that was December 2015 and I weighed 285lbs....

I have been trying to lose weight for 9 months- diets, meds, exercise, gym, more diets, more meds- And I actually gained 15 lbs smdh...3 months ago (6 months into failure) I decided to go ahead and proceed with Gastric Bypass Surgery as everyone had been suggesting... Still never lost any weight but maintained at 300lbs since I made the decision for weightloss surgery 3 months ago (even with diet and exercise).

Soooooooo.....

I am on my 4th day of my 2 week pre-op diet. So I weighed myself, for the hell of it, and I am so mad, yet not mad, and yet find it funny too... Apparently thanks to this pre-op diet I have finally lost weight!

I have been on pre-op diet for 4 days and I am down 7lbs!

OMFG I cannot believe it! Wow I am Happy to see some weight loss but OMG am I mad because it seems I could have done this diet months ago and possibly gotten my abdominal wall repair done already! But also I am so freaking happy to see the scale fall finally. And find it funny that you know 10 days out from bariatric surgery I FINALLY am starting to lose weight AFTER 9 FREAKING MONTHS LOL....

But in the end I am happy to be below 300 and excited to continue to watch the scale fall.... 10 more days til surgery! I can't wait!

Yes FINALLY seeing the scale move in the downward direction was amazing and very motivating! How are you doing on this day 4? Only 10 more days to go! Luckily I have appointments Monday, Tuesday, Friday- have errands on Wednesday/Thursday, my oldest has Homecoming Game Friday, Homecoming Dance Saturday, and My Youngest's birthday party is Sunday! So I am sincerely hopeful that once Monday hits time will FLY by!

It actually seems a bit easier today thankfully. Like you I had a scale victory so that has cheered me up & taken my mind off how hungry I think I am lol

Is it really only 10 days!? Gosh!

I am a bit more tired & lacking energy but doing ok :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
