I agree!! Today has been the easiest so far. (I mean, not to sound like it’s a walk in the park— I could totally devour any real food that was put in front of me), but I’m really glad that I went through the struggle preop so I at least have an idea of what to expect post op.
I also agree about the time. It’s amazing how much time I must have spent just stuffing my face aimlessly. Hopefully I can remember that and stay on track once I’m given the opportunity for a second chance.

I love the idea of a shower puff with a handle! My surgery date is May 9....it’s gettying close and I am in full planning mode at this point. Thank goodness for Amazon prime! 😂

I’m one day before y’all!! That’s the closest I’ve found too! 😊
day 2 is going much better (so far) than day 1. I love the positive vibe in this group! Every time I rethink what I’m doing, I look at the list I made over the past 6 months that reminds me why I made this choice yo be healthier
I haven’t licked any pepperoni yet, but I did spend a good 45 seconds smelling my daughter’s Monterey Jack cheese when I cut it up for her lunch. 😂😂

My surgery is May 9–RNY. I start my liquid diet on Wednesday. I am soooo excited and at the same time terrified.
Excited to make the change. 🤗

I can't give you my experience as I am just starting on this journey-- I had my first surgical consult today: aiming for a mid-December sleeve date.
My first question for my surgeon was when I could return to running (more like slow-jogging/walking intervals) since I also signed up for the glass slipper challenge in February!! He told me I would be cleared to walk the day I was discharged, and he would expect me to be able to go to the gym within 1 week. He said to hold off on racing for 2-3 weeks, but essentially just said to listen to my body. I imagine, from what I've read, that our energy should return (or exceed) to normal by that time.
This will be my first runDisney race and I am super excited-- and excited that I might be a few pounds lighter by the time I pass through the castle! 😉
