5'7" and I weighed 240. I'm two months post surgery and am now in a size 14, a place I haven't been since college. I'm not worried about losing too much, but I get where you're coming from. What's your surgery date?

I don't even have one yet. I meet with the surgeon on the 1st. I'm trying to get all my paper work for my insurance right now. And I also have to gain 15 more pounds for my insurance to cover it. And that's amazing!! What size did you start? Maybe you're the same body type as me?

Ah yes, the "you're not heavy enough for this surgery" shtick from insurance. I had an underlying condition or three (massive hiatal hernia, esophageal stricture and a gaping valve) and so I didn't have to go through that part (gaining so I can lose). I started at a 2x. I hope they don't force you to gain weight--maybe your doc can talk them into it.

My BMI wasn't high enough but because of existing renal and rheumatoid and AS issues I was considered for the surgery...and I am 60 years old...

Very happy with my results...see my blog for encouragement

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.
