    Default Original weight or Surgery day weight on my Weight Ticker

    Which weight do you think is best to use on your weight Ticker, the weight you weighed when you first went to the surgeon or the weight you weighed on your date of surgery? I'm want to use the one that would be most inspiration for myself as time goes by.

    I can't believe the day has finally come where I can create one of these. I didn't dare do it before the surgery in case anything happened to keep me from having the surgery.

    Woohoo!!! I'm sooooooooooooo happy!

    Starting pre-op diet weight: 357
    Surgery date weight: 337
    Goal weight: 150

    I put my starting weight from my start of the program. Medicare and medicaid require 6 months pre-op program.
    My insurance, medicare (wants 8% loss) and medicaid required a whopping 15% body weight loss.
    My presurgery losses were significant and I'm damn proud of it. 338lbs down to 277. Over 60 pounds.....yea I'm counting that.
    And that was the beginning of my journey....

    I put my weight before I started the pre-op diet. I count the pre-op diet as part of my weight loss journey.

    I put my high weight when I decided to have surgery. I lost 22 pounds on my preop diet and I certainly didn't want to disregard that!

    Wow, really? I was paranoid that I was going to die on the operating table if I did not follow the pre-op diet.
