I'm in a similar boat as you. Still in the weight management phase; and i need to lose 15 lbs by August. I know its doable but its still nerve wracking.

My focus is getting approved for surgery; I'm setting my sights solely on getting the sleeve and starting my life anew.

I believe you can do it too!

Im having trouble losing the set amount of weight. Im not going to give up, but sometimes I doubt myself. How did you stay focus on losing the weight before surgery?

I have an app (myplate) on my phone that a person can set for the number of calories (mine is 1000). I track everything I eat. For instance, one I enter the premier shake by scanning the bar code, it can find it and substract from my total. Then, I track my lunch and dinner and anything in between. Also, my fitness tracker is connected so it automatically add my exercise. In this manner, I know everything I have eaten and can stay on track. Hope this helps.

My sister got sleeved in December so I call and ask for help with food and what can I do and what I can't do. I think it is good when you have buddies that you can count on. Good luck. We can do this together.

I was recently given an weight loss goal of -14 lbs. I've lost weight before but the fact that everything is starting now has given me so much anxiety. I just want a snack ( or two)!!! But I told myself I'm going to start Aqua Zumba and Water aerobics at the gym and I have to begin following the Pre Op program again...Wish me luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
