Down a very hard 5 lbs...on my way to approval

I am excited to report that I have lost my first 5 lbs of the "required" pre-surgery pounds to loose.  It has not been an easy week...lots of walking...lots of hunger pains...but I survived and starting week 2.  5 more be 12/4/12.  I can do this!!

Yep it sure is hard. I'm doing the pre-op too into my 3rd week. i step on the damn scale every morning and not seeing much movement but i've cheated here and there too. i'm so proud of your accomplishment! keep doing what you're doing. xoxo

Thanks...and I am sure you can do it too.  Do you have a surgery date yet? 

Yes you can do this, for motivation I would pop on here and kept looking at all the before and afters...that was enough to keep me going the 3 months prior to surgery!

Best of luck

Thanks Nance,

I am on here most every day...and I always check out the before and after...paying close attention to those body types that are most closely to mine for further inspiration.

that was such a positive move for me to do, now I am down 131 pounds and I can hardly believe that it's only 8 months since surgery!! This is a wonderful tool to learn new behavior, portion control and most importantly self worth! I am beginning to feel like my old self, some 15 years later after being very overweight and totally miserable.

Best of luck it is a wonderful experience

You are such an inspiration.  Keep up the excellent work...and keep posting...and I will too

I had RNY and hernia repair at noon today. I was required do 2 weeks of pre-op liquid diet prior to surgery. I lost 26.5 lbs, but I didn't cheat. Just remember the only person you are cheating is yourself. I know you can do it!

Good Luck!
