Takoyaki

I weighed in at 200.8 this morning, tantalizingly close to the 100's again. Total of 34 pounds lost. Finding that I have a few food sensitivities, mainly related to pork products. Bacon is a definite no for me! Even a tiny bite caused nausea, pain, and dumping. Almost everything else is going quite well. I'm proud of myself that it's been over 2 months without caffeine and I'm sleeping better because of it. Believe me, it's been a challenge given that I work rotating shifts, but I don't like coffee or tea, so kicking the soda habit has meant kicking the caffeine habit for me!

I was sleeved on March 29th. Down 28 pounds from surgery day. I had a 2 week long stall in weeks 2-4, but happy that the scale is moving slowly again. Went from very tight size 18s to comfortable size 16s.

At hospital check-in, I was asked when my last period occurred. I have a Mirena IUD and haven't had a period in many years. They made me pee in a cup for a pregnancy test because of this. I got the impression that those with regular cycles might not get tested, but I'm not entirely certain about that. Probably one of those things that depends on your hospital's rules.

It's looking like late December or early January for me. More likely it will be early January given my work schedule. I've only got two more weigh ins left with my PCP. I've already met with my doctor's NUT and "passed" the psych evaluation. My doctor doesn't even require a pre-op diet liquid diet. Here's hoping the time flies quickly because I'm so ready!
