...so I am doing the 3 month followed diet after some issues with the primary physician I had (he got angry with me when I told him I wanted the sleeve) I found a weight loss clinic and decided to try out adipex I could see where this would help weight loss but I see alot of people on that yoyo when they stop taking it and I don't want that. So I continued on got a new pcp who is totally on board with the surgery but did however tell me to continue with that clinic for my 3months diet he said he will sign all my approval papers soon as I need them. Although I'm a little concerned he said I could lose all the weight I want and still get the surgery but when I did my nutrition consult and phsychatric clearance they told me they didn't think so...but I did stop the adipex and stop the gym I was an avid goer despite appearance I have lost weight but my bmi went to 46...I guess I'm losing muscle because the dr told me no weights. Any way I'm 27 always been a big girl but always told I carry it well. My highest weight259 I think I'm like 251 now. So I have done everything the surgeon told me to do and just waiting to finish my supervised diet on Dec 28 ...I'm so anxious and excited and nervous to do this. Hope to relieve my new life tool in January!

Hey I should be having my final appointment around the same time to figure out the date for my surgery! I was told it should be in January! So excited! I'm 24 and like you I've always been a big girl and I've always worked out, tried diets and different programs and I just got sick of weighing over 300lbs! Haven't been under 300 since I was 14 or 15 :/

I feel a lot of the same emotions!

I do too.... and knowing I'm just waiting now I'm anxious and excited but I'm finding this site more and more helpful! I'm so close to that last supervised diet day ... but also the surgeon didn't tell me I have to lose weight before surgery so I'm going back and forth should I be trying super hard or just ride it out and not stress too much at this time. Any thoughts?

      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?

      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
