December 20th surgery date here! On day 6 of liquid diet (protein shakes, broths, sugar free jello) I want to eat my left arm but otherwise I'm very excited and optimistic! Has anyone else on the Protein shakes/liquid diet had to deal with the "ketosis breath"? YUCK!

You will do great! I was banded 1week ago today and I'm starting to get back into swing of things. I was sore some and felt like I did a bunch of sit-ups but everything went great. Being on here had helped answer a lot of questions I had and has really helped me prepare for pre and post op. I got a lot of inspiration here and excited to start this journey. Best of luck to you in your journey!

I cheated on my pre op diet yesterday. I had some beer and my xmas party and a small plate of Pasta. I have been beating myself up all day over this. I'm worried that I may have ruined my day' date=' which is Friday. If I can't keep on a goal during pre op am afraid temptations will doom me in the future.[/quote']

I had a few slip ups during my pre op diet. Do your best. It's much easier to stick to after the surgery bc your really not hungry. My surgery was wed and by my scale I'm down 12lbs! It's not easy but it will work out. Best of luck to you.

I am scheduled for surgery on the 19th. I was supposed to start my preop diet on the 6th but just got the paper work in the mail today. I was just at the doctors office on the 5th and they did not tell me anything about it!

I am also SCARED to death that my insurance is going to turn around and deny me because my psych evaluation came back and said I may need counseling to make this work. I have been through hell the past 6 months jumping thru hoops to get this far and if the insurance turns me down after pre approval I will be devistated.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or had any problems with the psych eval and insurance before?

I am in need of some encouragment and support here. Thanks

      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!!
