I am currently in my 5th month of the pre-op weight loss program with my PCP. Unfortunately, I have struggled this entire process to lose weight. It's been a real emotional time in my life and obviously food was where I have always turned.

Well... I had my 5th weigh-in today and I FINALLY LOST 12 LBS!!! I am so excited that finally something is going right. Of course, my first reaction was to go eat (again, I'm the dreaded emotional eater). I talked myself out of going to McD's... I don't want to gain those 12lbs back. My doctor was proud and my husband, for the first time during this process, seemed proud of me too. It means more to me than anything to finally have my husband on board with this whole process.

Can't wait to get banded to only continue this momentum! :wink:

:thumbup: WOW I am proud of you! Were in the same boat :bored: I too have the 6 month diet thingy.... I didn't lose an ounce either until the 5th weigh in. I made every excuse I could think of to dine on last suppers for 5 months!

Those excuses are over now though :tt2: I have lost 11 and my last weigh in is on 4/2. We can do it... Both of us just hang in there. Once you get your band on and see the scale victories we will have the power to make the right decisions!

that's fantastic..... some people just don't realize that over eating was a way of life and even though it was not a healthy way of life it will take time. Just stay focused on all of the positive health benifits and u wont even notice what you are not eating.... I know its easier said than done but im in the phase of loosing before my band date also.. and im waiting on that date now.... so i do understand just be patient everyone expects for it to come off over night but it wasent put on over night.. though it seems like it sometimes...lol

WOW, what a great start!! Congratulations!
