Is the amount of weight you are showing on your tickers from your surgery date or the beginning of your pre-op liquid diet....or what?

I've seen people do it both ways on this forum. I decided that I would set mine from surgery date.

I decided to start mine at my highest recorded weight, which happened to be recorded on the day of my first surgeon consult, the day I really started my journey. I have little text notes in there, too, for the finer points. :)

Mine is from pre-op. It is just a personal choice. I was at my highest at pre-op so that is why I chose it.

My ticker is from my pre -op appointment which was 20 days before surgery. I have lost a total of 35 pounds and 17 inches in total and I will be a month out on Saturday the 28th. It truly is a personnel choice but that is when I felt like I started my journey.

Just keep on moving

Mine was from my pre-op appointment and by coincidence it was also my highest recorded weight. Wow, I was fat. Now, not so much...almost to the "overweight" category. Can't wait to be normal. Three more months.

800 calories and less than 20 net carbs is the shizzle

Mine is from my preop diet start date, on my home scale. That is why I put my surgery weight in there, for easy comparison.

Sleeved 6/12/13 - 100 pounds lost to get to goal!
