WELL! I just got back a couple of hours ago from meeting and consulting with Dr. Nicholson and we have a surgery scheduled for June 1st at 11:30am!!! I FLOATED OUT OF THE DOCTORS OFFICE I WAS SO HAPPY! I start the pre-op slim fast diet on May 20th, so I have just one more week to eat my favorite things before it's down to business.

Dr. Nicholson was caring and kind and hilarious and made me extremely comfortable and confident in my decision. He has a black eye from his 8 year old practicing karate on him, so cute.

This is actually happening. I can't wait to join the sleeved. Oh happy day!

Congrat's on your setting your date. I felt the same way the day I set mine. I tell everyone that my surgery is set for May 19th and I can't wait. Good luck with the diet.

Yay!! It's so exciting to get a surgery date. I know I will be floating when I get mine as well lol. What can you have on the slim fast pre-op diet? Do you just drink those instead of Protein Shakes?

There are high Protein choices in the slim fast pre-op diet. I am allowed two meal shakes or bars, THREE snack bars, and a small meal for dinner. All in all, it doesn't seem so bad! Let's see how I feel after I actually have to start, though...haha.

How exciting for you. I must admit, I went a little crazy with my "Last Suppers", but got down to business on the pre-op.

This is the beginning of a whole new you!

      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.
