awsome band buddy!

haha I've really just learned how to perfect hiding my belly, so far it only works in pictures. That and I wear heels for full body photos, I hold a lot of weight in my thighs, more than I'd like to admit really.

I do, as for being worried, I'm not in the slightest I've lost 20 lbs on my own, granted it took 3 months. At one point I was concerned I wouldn't lose anything, but after seeing what I could do without the band I'm confident t hat I'll be fine.

Hello everyone... I have my procedure scheduled for May 1st... I think I've gone through every emotion possible from terrified of failure to being angry that I have to actually do this to become healthier, but now that I'm so close I feel a bit nervous but besides those normal pre any surgery jitters I'm very calm about this... I know that this is the right choice and I know that a year from now I'll be telling myself Thank GOD you did it... so Good Luck everyone and I hope we can all go through this together.

Hello!!! So glad I found this forum! My surgery date is on may 11 and I'm so excited and ready!!! Is anyone following the pre-op diet? I'm wondering if we have to drink 3 packs a day for sure because I usually am full with 2 a day?! Weird but any thoughts?

Having surgery on May 11! So excited! Been on the pre-op diet since Monday. Three recommendations: powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Protein shakes (best I've ever had!), Crystal Light Energy grape flavor (awesomeness!), fried tilapia with garlic powder sprinkled on it (takes about 5 mins. to prepare and it's incredibly good and I was never a fish eater).

So excited and highly motivated!

Omg...the chocolate splendor is soo good!! Tastes jus like chocolate milk and barely any after taste @ all! I will def b ordering the large tub of this!!

      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!!
