They told me don't lose between now and my 2/14 appointment although they said with the nutrition it would be hard not to but try. My nutrition is fasts tracked I have an appointment 1/10, 1/14 and 2/11. I was told I need 3 appointments but they don't have to be a month apart for my insurance (Independence BC).

Thanks for the heads up on the Soups. I'll stick to the bars and puddings. I'm not too much of a Soup girl except creams... I'll do broth if I have to though.

My Dr was very strict no Bars or pudding first 2 Weeks .I did a few Years of research 90 % of the Surgeons keep diet liquids first 2 Weeks some permit Jello , puddings .I read recently that someone was allowed heavier food right after Surgery good luck with that !!! All I can say good way to rupture your sutures.

I’m about 41 BMI
Maybe what they meant then, was to focus on the new food plan and reteaching yourself to eat and not to focus on losing weight. Naturally it’s going to happen during the pre op stage. Maybe they just meant not to having a weight loss be your main goal

My BMI was 40 which was my insurance cut off, so I was told not to GAIN but not to worry about losing. I had a previously documented 80 lb. loss on Phentermine, so everyone knew I could lose.

      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?

      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
