4 months into the preop process, feeling anxious and wanting to hurry it all along. I've spent a lot of time looking at my insurance info and wondering if I can just skip 6 months of dietician appointments and just apply with what I have.· 0 replies

10 Days post op. Wow, what a journey so far.· 0 replies
Pre op was straightforward, over the Christmas and New Year period but I was ok with that.
Day of op, pretty stunned really, was I doing the right thing. A quick nervous wee before I was put under and VOILA...done.
Day 1 and 2 post was a freaking mess. Mentally that is. Lots of questions, lots of doubts, lots of fear.....then day 3 came and bingo I felt so much better, about 80%.
Skip to Day 10. I am feeling pretty satisfied most of the time, not really hungry. My skin is amazing. The weight is literally dropping off but I'm under no disillusionment that this will slow considerably shortly. I have started to experiment with different liquids and found I absolutely despise liquidised meat. YUCK.
My belly scars are almost gone, but they have left a little lump and they can be tender. I wouldn't call it sore.
I am managing to get my protein up just over 60g a day, but that's with the help of two scoops of protein powder in my liquid meals. Drinking sitting directly upright is my only comfortable option which is ok, and I've learned to love jelly/jello.
Biggest changes? Confidence. Libido (yep, it's back with a vengeance after being dormant for about 5 years). Energy increase. Clothes starting to fit better.
Biggest disappointment? I really don't have anything to be disappointed about except I didn't do it sooner.
Biggest surprise? How quickly I have recovered and am seeing results.
🙂

Got my first shot of the vaccine today. Some mild pain in the deltoid muscles but I had that with other vaccines as well in the past.· 2 replies

Don't know if it was the right decision. Several of my colleagues think this way. We might not be able to know until several years have gone by.

I've gained inches, and I'm loving it!· 1 reply
Measured myself today. Haven't since Dec 22. Lost (another) 2 inches from my waist, same from the chest, hips. But my arms stayed the same ... and my thighs had both gone up 2.2 inches!
All the walking must be doing something good for me, I just didn't think I'd really be able to add muscle while eating so little. I'm so excited I did 2 whole pushups to celebrate (can't believe I can do that again ... twice! ... it's been at least 8 years).
Wohoo!
