I'M SO GLAD i FOUND THIS BOARD

I have been on quite a few of the other boards. And I am so happy to find this one. My surgeon suggest that I lose 40pds prior to having the surgery Lap RNY. Does any one have any suggestions? All suggestions would be appreciated. I have already lost 17pds.These last 22 refuse to go. I might have a surgery date in Sept. Kwheen

I am on the "Aspen Clinic" Diet... it's medicated/supervised diet using phentermine 37.5 mg/day. I have lost 26 lbs without exercising, and only barely watching what I eat, since I've been lazy (sick) this week. Maybe next week will be better.

17 lbs. is great girl! Hardly anyone loses as much as they tell you to, or otherwise we wouldn't need the surgery. They just want you to make an effort to lose weight and change your eating habits like you would after the surgery. Don't worry, you are doing great! Keep up the good work! Deb
