I started my journey in May and weighed in at 376. My surgeon requested that I lose 15 lbs before surgery to bring my bmi down to 50. (I am 5'11") After that first appointment, I got sick and ballooned up to 389! To be honest, I was scared that if I lost any weight, it would come back with interest. (I have a 6 month required supervised diet before my insurance will approve my surgery. ) on July 15, I decided that enough was enough. I cut my carbs and am now down to 364. That is 25 pounds in about 3 weeks! I am so proud and excited!

Great Job! Awesome progress, easy does just keep going! You can do it!

Good work!!! I am starting at 376, I don't have to lose weight, thank goodness. Although since February I have only lost 10#, I weigh i the tomorrow at my NUT appointment hopefully I will have lost more.
Congratulations again

Great work! I'm a little over 5'11'' too....glad to be on this journey with you!

Thanks everyone!

Hi good for you for losing the weight. I cut out all bread products 2 weeks ago. I lost 9 pounds. It's been a struggle but glad to see i lost. Trying to lose some weight be for my surgery.

Good job! You are doing great!

Fantastic job! Carbs is my big thing. I'm two days from my preop and I know it's going to be a struggle, but I know it's something I can do. Keep going and you'll be amazed both before and after the surgery.
