Weight loss - Can't believe it ! - WLSurgery.com

Andy1968 · 30th January, 2012

Hi everyone
I got back from seeing my GP tonight and updated him on my progress with the pre op diet that L&D insist on.
I have to lose 5% of my bodyweight before i see the surgeon just to prove i'm capable of what's expected post op.
I'm on 5 pints of semi/skimmed milk,1 oxo cube,1 sugar free jelly and a multi-vitamin tablet and have been on this for 2 weeks with another 2 weeks to go.

I jumped on the scales and acccording to the reading...i've lost 26lb !
I realise that they're not the same scales and may be out...but i was shocked that i've nearly lost 2 stone in a fortnight !

I need to lose 22lb to pass 5% of my bodyweight so i'm over that....i just hope that the scales at L&D aren't out by 2 stone !

Just thought i'd let you know

I lost about 2 stone and most of that in the first two weeks so the scales are probably fine. Just keep at it - you'll be there soon.
