We’re all getting close! My preop visit was June 10 Our Preop Testing is June 28th. Time is CRAWLING but 18 days til July 9th!

Pre-op diet starts in just a few days (VSG on July 2), I'm so nervous about hunger headaches because it'll be a constant struggle not to put an end to them with a stack of something carby.

I JUST GOT my surgery date tooooooooo!!!! July 2nd too!

I have said this many times and it should be a pinned post somewhere....You are detoxing from Carbohydrates and you will feel like crap for approximately 2 weeks. Once your body recognizes that the carb storage has been depleted, you will then go into ketosis and start burning body fat for energy. You will begin to feel much better, most likely better than when you were eating tons of carbs. This is also why it is important to keep up with your Protein intake, so you don't start to lose lean muscle mass. Feel free to google "Keto Flu". Hang in there, you'll get through it. Keep drinking Water and protein and if you're getting headaches, replenish your electrolytes. I drink some pedialyte from time to time.

Indeed it is...muddling through Day 2 of pre-op diet.

Anyone July 2nd ?? It’s getting close!

That is awesome! My pre-op visit is June 21, and my pre-op nutrition consult is this Wednesday.

Wearing my wedding ring...it no longer fits.
Relaxing in my soaking tub with the Water up to my chin.

Clipping my toenails and breathing at the same time 🤣 Which I can actually do now!

Here is the list I made preop, my weight loss bucket list as it is:
1. cross my legs - check! I love crossing my legs now and do it all the time!
2. sneeze without peeing - condition has improved greatly
3. rock climbing - haven't tried yet, kinda forgot it was on my list
4. run a 5k - currently training and looking for a race
5. be comfortable wearing shorts and not just capris in summer - check! I never used to wear shorts, but now I have 3 in my new size and only one pair of capris
6. buy a swimsuit that doesn't have a skirt - check!
7. waterski again - gotta get to the lake this summer to knock this one off
7. Sex. More energy for it, more fun positions to try - DOUBLE CHECK!
Some bonus things: I like being able to pop myself up to sit on counters, I can sit on the floor without hurting my hips, I can buy a much bigger variety of shoes because I no longer need wide widths. Unfortunately I'll need to replace all my wide calf boots because they look ridiculous on me now.

Predicting how much weight loss or size change will happens at a specific time is about the hardest thing to do in this game (will you lose 30 lb in those three months, or 60?) Flexibility is the key.
Wedding night attire is much easier!
Congratulations and good luck!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding💕That is my anniversary date and will be married 33 years that day.

Maybe Bariatric Surgery is a degreaser? Seems to have demolished your Bubble Butt, and. you're lucky you didn't lose your Upper Story, because I did- now I have the tube sox with the 2 tennis balls. Any more and I will have to install Seat Belt Retractors so I can roll them back up and replace them in my bra. Maybe I can find a lying bra, one that makes me look "perky" not recently demolished!😳

To explain better, I used to have to dress around my bubble butt even at lower weights than I am now. But the bubble butt oddly got less bubbly. And my boobs which are always the first to go, didn't shrink up as much as I predicted. You might find yourself wanting a mermaid design or total other type of dress that you previously never thought would look good on you.

Hi everyone!
I am scheduled to have the RNY on 7/2 woooohooooo!
Problem (but not so problem): I am getting married on October 18th! I have no idea how I should plan to buy my wedding dress. I am currently a bridal size 18 or 20 depending on fit. Any one have any kind of experience with this. I know they say to buy a corset dress, but literally have not found one I like. I am considering more of a rustic/romantic style lace dress. Any suggestions??
Thanks!!!

Thank you all for your comments/suggestions. I think I’m going to go on Wednesday to be fitted again, and then decide what I want to do! :)
