Amazing man, congrats!!! If that's somewhat what I have to look forward to I can't wait. Did you lose much pre-op or mostly after surgery? Really great job.

I had to do a 2 week pre-op diet and I lost 30 on that. So I had the surgery at 440 pounds.

Hey Russ, Sorry to bother with the personal questions but what was your BMI going into surgery? I ask because I had my 2nd visit today with my surgeon and he wants me to try and drop weight so I'm closer to 50. He's saying 20lbs with a tentative date of July 12 but I think I could do better than that. Also if you don't mind what did you diet consist of? I'm actually going to make a post asking the rest of the folks here. Thanks for any info... Again great job and I hope to do nearly as well.

J

      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.
