My day is fast approaching. I'm on the pre op diet of unlimited Protein Shakes and limited Protein only. (Chicken breast with no skin and no sauce). I haven't lost any weight. Picked up my post op scripts. Found out I'll have to inject myself three times a day post op with blood thinner. I have a few jitters/fears. I live on the 2nd floor of my apt complex and have a rough and tumble 5 year old little boy. I've been telling him mama is gonna have surgery soon so you can't be jumping on my tummy. I'm worried. Will I ever be able to wrestle around with him post op. I know not right away but I mean ever.

I use the bleander too. Throw in a few frozen strawberries and a packet of Truvia sweetner and they are actually pretty good. I'm doing the GNC whey in vanilla (powder).

I think we may have a lot in common. I'm 5'2 33 and a single mom. Mine are older though. (12 & 13) I wish I could have done this when they were younger.

We can all get through this together. I'm definitely looking for a support network.

Hey y'all... My date is quickly approaching as well... I am set for July 24th I unlike most of you don't have a preop diet to follow... Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing... I am enjoying some of my favorite foods this last week of freedom... I am 33 and have 4 kids.. I work full time and also go to school... I am currently 5'5 and weight about 300lbs.. My heaviest was 335 and that was last September.. Phentermine helped me get that weight off... I am super nervous but so ready to get this over with.. I am sick of the unknowns... So hopefully this will be a great success and we can all lean on each other for the well needed support that will be so greatly needed!!

I've just finished my last Protein Shake before the midnight cutoff time. It's 11pm now and tomorrow morning is the big day. I did all of my laundry today, vacuumed, swept, mopped, and cleaned my apartment like nobody's business. Hopefully it'll last til I'm back up and running again. I'm nervous and excited. I've got my pain meds and heparin ready to go. Not looking forward to injecting meds for the next two weeks.... but I know I can do this. I'll try my best to remember and update tomorrow as soon as I can. Wish me luck.... here I go.

Oh... and my final pre op weigh in was 248lbs.

Hi. I had mine yesterday. Mine was paired with a hernia repair so the pain is a worse. No complications during surgery. Just be prepared and ready to walk every hour. Walking really does help.

      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.
