Hello everyone! I've been a member here for a while but have never posted anything. My surgery daye is set for july 8th. I'm on day 5 of my 2 week liquid diet. I went for my final appointment today and I've lost 13 pounds since I started the liquid diet. I'll have to say that the first 2 or 3 days were the hardest. The worst part of the day is when I'm cooking dinner for the kids and husband. The only thing getting me through this is humor and support from friends and family.

I did the liquid diet as well for two weeks, and my surgeon didn't weigh before my surgery last Monday I was like hmmm wonder why he didn't..? well it's over looking forward to swelling going down, enjoy the liquiids because its a full week after as well, but it will be worth it in the end .....

Good for you. You will be amazed at how your positive attitude through this tough time will get you through other tough times. I often think girl if you could live without chewing any food for 3 weeks you can do anything! I am still so proud that I made it and you will be too. It's so worth it. Good luck!!

      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!!
