How is it going ladies? I just wanted to wish everyone a "losing" day! It is so motivating when clothes start to fit differently! Keep moving and drinking lots of water! Blessings to you all.

valwoman your BMI must be below 35 anything above 34.9 on the day of surgery, and they will have you to reschedule. Good luck on trying to lose the weight I myself and having to lose some weight. Any idea when you may schedule and with what Dr? Your more than welcome to come and join us in the waiting room part 56, its for ladies who are scheduled and those who have not and from time to time ladies who have done had their tr will chime in and answer any questions we may have. Good luck no matter where this journey leads you. Jennifer in NC TR 8/4/08

Hi to everyone, I am just getting started on my road to TR. I had my TL in Feb 96 and now I am going to schedule within the next month or so. I am concerned, however that I will be over the BMI limit. I am 5' 5" and 221 pounds, I used the calculator and I show I am right on the edge. How far under, do I NEED to be in order to have the surgery?

Louise I totally understand me too I am also just barely under the BMI requirement and I figured up I am going to just getting AF or just getting over AF when I go in Aug for my tr and I totally dont want that to throw me off. I want to be so under the limit that even if the scale showed a 5 pound gain I would be ok.
Shannon I will def keep you all posted it seems like it is going to be really easy to follow but then again who knows. Jennifer

I will be happy to add you to the list! Weight loss takes some time, so I only update when someone lets me know their numbers have changed.
I'm doing the same as others- walking and drinking water! I haven't had a soda pop in so long! The funny part is that I don't really miss it! I thought I would.
For now I am doing Slim Fast for two meals a day, cause I am just BARELY under the limit on BMI for my TR, and I want to be under far enough that I won't be nervous about it.

Pennylane I went to that website that you had mentioned, and I bought it (SHOCKER) LOL. Anyways it seems very reasonable and not hard at all. Im hoping this will work for me and help give me some motivation to continue working toward my weight loss goal not only for the tr but for me being a better and healthier person all around. I will let everyone know my progess I got my diet today from the diet generator but Im actually not going to start until sat after I go get alot of the fresh fruit and veggies. Im so excited to start this diet and see where things go.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON THIS JOURNEY I HOPE YOU ALL ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOAL! JENNIFER IN NC TR 8/04/08

Hi Shannon yeah I have a bowflex treadclimber my DH got me for Christmas and I bought the 30 day shred from the biggest loser and it kicks my butt I actually just got finished with that Im fixing to go walk 1 mile. I just have a hard time fitting everything into my day. But I will def just to amp up my workout and eating habits though I would love to be 175 when I go to CH, but we will see. Im working as hard as I can at it and thats all I can do staying motivated is my biggest thing I thought once I scheduled my TR maybe it would not be as hard but its been a little rough. Anyways I will keep everyone posted on my progress. Jennifer in NC

Hi there Jennifer!! Nice to see you over on this thread! I can't wait until I am all healed up so I can start walking again! That's what works for me...I try to walk 2 miles a day. The road we live on is nothing but big hills in either direction, so I really get a workout! I also drink A LOT of water. I am a sweetaholic/ice creamaholic, so I really am trying to cut back!! Although while we were in CH, we had the BEST carrot cake delivered by room service!! YUMMY!! I find I do ok if I substitute the fat free/sugar free pudding in when I need a fix...put some light coolwhip on it....not bad!! Then I got some good recipes from Weight Watchers for "sweet" snacks too that are great! Hope everyone has a great week!!! Keep Moving! XOXOX Shannon

Well, yes we must wear clothes to the Dr.'s office...but when I used to go to weight watchers meetings, I definitely learned not to wear jeans when weighing in- those suckers are heavier than you can imagine! Also, everything that can possibly come off- take it off! Watch, glasses, jewelry, etc. Every little bit helps!

OK, I wish I could use my naked weight-weighed myself with no clothes this morning and it said 198! That won't work, because when I get weighed at the doctor's office I will have clothes on. It makes me feel good, though!
