I was wondering how much total weight did you loose before your surgery date??

Edited to add: I know a lot of us new pre op band-sters, are worried about loosing too much, or not enought and what not.. So just wondering what you did.

ALL votes are private just so you know:)

From January until the day before surgery I had lost about 15% of my total weight that I need to lose. I had a high BMI to start off with so even after my weight loss I am still over a 40 BMI. No biggy to me cause I will get down to what I plan!

Ditto adding a 0/few pounds. I believe (confirming at my appt.) I can't gain, but I'm not supposed to lose much either; wondering how many others got that advice.

I didn't even lose 5%. I lost 6.6 lbs from a weight of 242ish at my surgical consultation to 236ish on my surgery day. Been going strong since though, following the postop plan very strictly and enjoying life a lot.

I am in month three of my 6 month supervised diet, and I've lost some weight, and now I've gained a few pounds over the holidays...but overall am still down a couple of pounds from my beginning weight. I think most of all the insurance companies want you to just fulfill the requirement of 6 months with doc visits to show your dedication to a lifestyle change. My insurance doesn't say any certain amount is required to be lost before the 6 months is up. But, I am trying to learn something in this six months, so I do hope to lose about 10% of my body weight by the time the 6 months is up. Just a thought!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
