Hello..... My sister just had her surgery on 4/15 and after many discussions with her....and her being my guinea pig....I decided to move forward and make the journey myself. I just got approved for the surgery which is scheduled on 5/28. I'm super excited and nervous. Would love to hear about your experiences. :thumbup:

I'd love to keep in touch.

My pre-op diet starts on May 3rd. The nutritionist is giving me shakes along with some pills to suppress my appetite. I get to have a small dinner everyday except for the last week which will be all liquids. Im kind of looking forward to this too since I am supposed to loose some weight with this. :thumbup:

What were you told to do on your pre-op diet?

Rubio,

I gotta say you're a lucky girl to have a sister who you can share this experience with (all my sisters, I have 4, are thin, and have not had and real weight issues, but are still completely supportive).

Good luck!

Hi Jonelle,

Yeah I am lucky that I have her to share this experience with. She's been super supportive and so has my mom. I'm glad you have your family to support you as well. You'll be one of the skinny sisters soon!

Tomorrow I start the pre-op diet and I have moved up my surgery from the 28th to the 14. So the process officially starts tomorrow. :thumbup:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
