Awesome job! I'm down about 12 I think. Somehow next Thursday seems so close, yet such an eternity away! I told my sister today that i was excited, only seven more days of liquid diet until surgery! She asked what kind of diet I'm on after surgery... I told her 21 days of liquid, but I'm not counting that! One hurdle at a time.

Exactly, one step at a time! I've never felt full and I look forward to having a full feeling. I won't mind eating less food if my body would just tell me to stop. I don't eat a lot of junk food my problem has always been Portion Control. I'm excited too, I had all of my preop appointments yesterday, chest X-ray, EKG, lab work...

Go eg go eg! That is how I think of it. One day at a time. I actually am the type that there is a whole cake. I just take a little sliver and I'll be fine.then another sliver and another and sometimes don't realize how much I hate.I do it to almost everything I eat. meats carbs sweets everything. I have went down in the last month from 231 to 219.4 today. I am doing for the last seven days two Protein Shakes and a good dinner. I feel good. I have like u eg the drive determination and the dedication to be a success story. So to all remember me... cause next year I will be celebrating my one year bandaversary thinner and healthier than today!

My issue is portion control as well :) and frankly I am just tired of losing the same 25 lbs over and over during the last two years. I've lost a total of 70 since 2009... But I just can't seem to get anywhere now. Stuck stuck stuck.

I thought I would have the most difficulty with the mental side of not eating... But since the deadline of the pre op diet start date I have developed a complete brick wall in my brain. Cravings can bash themselves against it endlessly and it will not falter!! On occasion I look in the mirror to remind myself that yes, I'm hungry but no, I'm not starving. Hunger is a feeling, and it's ok to have that feeling and not act on it. just like I don take the Uzi to my ex husbands house and adjust his attitude when I have that feeling, I don't eat when I have a feeling of hunger. I'm learning "hunger management" courtesy of lap band pre op.

As someone was saying here.... Only five more sleeps. I don't have pre op until the morning of, as I'm flying to San Diego from kansas then crossing the border in to tiajuana. Weds doesn't really count for me because I'll be flying all day.

It's so close i can almost taste it...

I'm assuming all your pre op came back normal and you are a go? Do you have a good support system in place?

I haven't heard back on the preop tests, but im assuming they will call me if something is wrong. Definitely not a good idea to shoot up your exs house!! :) I don't envy you having to go all the way to Mexico I'm luckily only going one town away...

Everything went really well, I was cleared by my doctor to begin soft foods today...still a little pain in my stomach, but nothing significant. I've lost a total of 40 pounds including the preop diet :)

      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!!
