Thirty pounds is wonderful!  I lost 30ish pounds during the 6-mo diet prior to surgery.  Actually, that was the first five months...the last month was Optifast and I lost twenty??  The OH ticker is starting to play with my mind lol.  Anyway, HW-348 SW-298.  My first month PO was the greatest I have had.  It is slow but steady and I was prepared for it.

Keep up the good work!

5' 5" tall. VSG on August 4, 2015/ Starting weight 239.9/ Surgery weight 210.9/ Current weight 137.4/ Goal weight 140/ No longer overweight, now a NORMAL weight. Now that I'm at goal, it's time to move on to maintenance!!!!!!!!

Just gotta follow the diet strictly, at least that's all I did.  :D

I had a 6 month supervised diet before surgery and I lost 54 lbs. I only had a 24 hour liquid diet before surgery. However; I had a very strict 600 calorie diet for two weeks before surgery. I didn't lose much though. Maybe about 6-9 lbs. You're doing great! Best of luck!!
