The same thing happened to me, got a call two weeks before surgery just after things started opening after covid. It got postponed two months. It'll never be the perfect time. Go get it done. Things will work out. All you need to get started are protein drinks and water.

like the above poster, I ended up having to add protein powder to various things, too.

This is definitely a Doc question. Tek

First thing I’d suggest- BREATHE! You can do this. Just make sure you have everything you need for your pre-op diet and don’t overly stress yourself. The rest will work itself out.

+1 for the chapstick i also brought a bottle of biotin spray for the unbelievably sore/dry throat that i woke up with after the surgery. (everything else I brought was left untouched in my overnight bag...well except my phone)

I'm set to have surgery in November. My mother works in preop at the hospital where I will be having my procedure. She told me that if your nerves are too bad the day of surgery, they can give you something there to help you calm down. And my surgeon has told me that the pain is different for everyone, but one thing that helps most patients is to stay ahead of the pain. Don't wait until you are hurting to take your pain medication. Just anticipate the pain and take the meds!! Best of luck to you

Stall are quite common anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks out, and again many times as you progress through the first year. Assuming you are following the post op guidelines set by your surgeon or dietician you will be fine, weight loss will catch up again soon. It's a good time to set some non scale goals to focus on. If you are concerne though you may want to check in with your dietician.

Before and after. Couple close coaching friends getting ready to do the same thing. Very fortunate that I had good insurance. Had to do the 6 month wait (visit and class once a month) but it was worth it. I was a walking heart attack waiting to happen on Friday nights in the fall. So much energy and adrenaline go into a Friday night.

I haven’t tried on a costume in years, mainly because I could never fit anything. For some reason this one is so symbolic to me. I wanted the girls to dress up in a incredible costume but they had other ideas of what they wanted to be this year. Maybe next year 😂 . . Do we like it 👍🏽 or NO 👎🏽 . .
