Well, I was suppose to have surgery yesterday (monday, october 15), but they called sunday and said they had to move it back to friday because the surgeon was out of town and stuck there due to bad weather. Aggravating because that means 4 more days of the preop diet! Definitely ready to be banded!!

Surgery day tomorrow. I am a mix of emotions today, Happy, scared, excited, but mostly can't wait to do things like ride a bike and walk the mall without my knees and feet hurting. I already feel so much better having lost the 40 lbs during the last 7 months (since seeing the surgeon the first time) that I can't wait to lose more. I have already put away the NEED for the large portions that got me here. I know there are more challenges along the way but as another poster's said being overweight is a challenge. One I've fought since about 3rd grade. I am ready to see what else is out there in this thing called LIFE.

So much respect for those already banded and made it throught the two week liquid phase! This is such a struggle for me. I'M HUNGRY!!!! I miss food and chewing. My surgery date is 6 days away, so I'm going to stick with it... but i just had to vent, lol.

Hang in there! I really kept to the pre-op diet, although my doctor allowed two cups of non starchy veggies, so at least I could chew something once a day.

The good news is that my doctor said she could really tell I had been following the diet because I had a really "skinny liver" LOL,The only part of me that's skinny. That made my surgery go very smoothly. My pain is easily controlled by my meds. Walking isn't too difficult, I just tire easily.

So, the good thing is--the pre op diet leads to multiple benefits: lost weight, easier surgery, knowledge you have the strength to make changes!

We'll oct 25 is the day. Preop diet is not so great. Traveling the next two days unexpectedly for interview for new position. Preop diets were not designed for last minute travel plans. So far so good losing weight before banding.

      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!!
