Well, met with my surgeon for the first time today. She was delightful and optimistic. However, she says I need to lose 10 pounds in two weeks and then she will add me to the schedule for surgery. Was I surprised? No, I've been moderately indulging in the foods that I will miss during my weight loss journey. I haven't gained any or loss any since my last weigh in a month ago.

Therefore, I'm on it!....More miles on my treadmill...cut out the sweets, and curb the carbs....I know what to do....Now, I have to do it!....I love a challenge and I love to prove people wrong....so in 14 days...I will see if I'm SERIOUS about this surgery.

This forum answers so many unknown questions and I appreciate the bold honesty of everyone in here....We all are on a mission and won't stop until the mission is complete....Hang in there!!! Let's Get It!

That's alot in 2 weeks. Yikes. I hope that doesn't happen to me. I still have to get my CPAP then an EGD, psych evaluation and 2 more months of supervised weight loss classes. I was told last month that I needed to lose 12.5 lbs. I've lost 4 lbs but it's been hard. I've been eating more Protein, watching the carbs and portion size and walking/jogging 1.5 miles 4 days a week. I feel like I can tell a difference in my size but the weight is slow to move. Normally this would be fine but I'm worried about losing the weight quickly enough. I guess I have 2 months so as long as I can continue to lose about a lb a week I'll be ok. Thinking of joining a gym to add weight training. Good luck.

I had to loose 9lbs in a month. I set-up two week appts. With my dietitian to make sure I keep my goal. I lost two pounds each time I saw her. I did it by doing 14,000 steps a day and calories between 1,000 and 1200. My fit bit and calorie counting did it for me. No carbs and no sugar.

Hills, the weight training will definitely help. Before you join a gym tho, you can pick up a set of resistance bands for much less and exercises at home. You tube has a ton of videos for resistance band exercises too that you can follow along with.

I'm going to do something I've done during a fitness class a few years ago. "Nature's Sunshine" has an all natural Vitamin cleanse...called "ParaCleanse". It's a 10 day cleansing and elimination of the bowels. You must eat clean for those 10 days...no sugars..no alcohol...and...it comes in 10 individual packs which include licorice root, dandelion, etc..that you take everyday for 10days...on this alone...u shed 7lbs..in 10 days...at least I did....

I'm desperate guys....summer & my birthday is coming quickly...The surgeon lit a flame under my ass today...I'm on FIRE !!!....Run, Walk, Crawl...I'm in it for the long haul!...Let's kiss this weight GOODBYE!

@10 you can do this just log your calories, and keep doing cardio do weights once a week. That is what my dietitian told me and it worked and drink 65 ounces of Water a day. I did cleansing as well. Mostly Fiber pills. I was under fire to get the surgery as well as my time was coming to an end with job elimination. I was seriously obsessed with the scale. I did everything to burn calories.

That kind of weight loss is going to require more than just exercise (unless you can walk 20 miles a day!)

You need to do something like the liquid Protein preoperative diet, or something similar. Tiny amounts of lean Protein and spinach.. maybe 500 cal day.

The cleanse is a good idea too.

What sort of dr expects someone to lose a pound a day? (Think of it that way because it can take a couple days for the body to change the hormones to begin losing weight).

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
