My program only requires "soft foods" two days before, and clear liquids the day before, but I have been doing 2 protein shakes a day and one meal on my own. I have my pre-op appointment on Monday! It's crazy how fast it is all going now. I have figured out my vitamin regimen (2 Bariatric Advantage Chewable Advanved Multi EA and 3 Bariatric Adv Calcium Chews), and finally found a plant based protein I don't hate (purely inspired Organic Protein). I am intolerant to whey, so the majority of the regular ones are out for me. And there are soooooo many disgusting plant based ones. I have also checked in with all of my favorite coaches with at my gym to make sure they are cool with me not following the daily format so I am good to go there too! I don't want to lose my gym habits. It's too easy to fall back into not going, lol. I am an OrangeTheory addict.

I am scheduled for bypass on March 10th, but if I can get the financial stuff figured out earlier, it can be rescheduled to March 3rd. I am super nervous but excited. I lost 90 pounds on a medically supervised weight loss in 2018 and then my thyroid misbehaved and I gained it all back and then some. I have boxes full of clothes I would like to wear again, lol. Plus I want to be able to fly comfortably. I currently do Orange Theory 3 times a week and I am going to miss that during the post-op downtime!
