The preop diet was not fun. Yogurt popsicles and soup were my friend. I don’t want to eat soup again for a really long time.

Abnormal ekg is not always a showstopper. They may want you to get clearance from a cardiologist.

If it is a surgery center you have to have someone drive you. Don’t know about hospital. Your surgeons office should know the answer to that.

I had bypass surgery mid February and I think my favorite thing so far is being able to cross my legs when Im sitting. What’s your favorite?

I’m down 40lbs 7 weeks out.

I got a card as well from my surgeon. I happened to be on a trip with a large group (not in charge of picking the restaurants) and we went to Paula Deens. I ate a few spoons of this and that, and they were gracious to charge me the kid price. When I mentioned the situation the server said “as long as you have the card” and it was no big deal.

When you get discouraged, because you have “only lost 5lbs” here is a little perspective. This is what 5lbs looks like.  Also, don’t let the number get into your head too much. Look at the whole picture. Measure, you might see changes in places other than the scale. Don’t underestimate non scale victories like wearing a necklace without having to use an extender or your knees not hurting when you walk down stairs.

We were broke students when we got hitched so my original ring was not an expensive one. We always planned to upgrade our rings, but haven’t yet. When it got too loose, I picked up this pretty silver ring from a local artisan to replace it with. I’ll keep replacing it with inexpensive rings until my weight stabilizes and then plan to work with the local artisan to make custom gold “forever” rings.

Sleeved on 8/27/18. Lost 89 lbs. Feeling great!
