surgery was cancelled unfortunately. I am seeing Dr. Amson In Victoria. no more surgeries in surry or Delta for now. So I have has my consult with dr. Amson on Friday, did the Pysch consult as well. stamp of approval so far. now I need an upper GI series for ruling out hiatal hernia that is this thursday. also need an overnight oximetry done for sleep apnea.. then next appointment with the surgeon is August 24. that appointment is when we decide when the surgery will be etc.. I think.. hopefully! I am on myfitnesspal.com now following the calories and better food choices.. so far so good. except the Migraines for the last 2 days.. lack of sugar i think.. he wants me to lose 20 lbs by the appointment.. start exercising.. so all is on the go and looking up!

anyways hope all is going well with you..

keep in touch!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
