I only have two more days before surgery!!! Now that it is getting down to the wire I am definitely becoming more nervous but I think it is just the excitement of having it over than anything else. I took a short trip to visit family over the fourth and am just getting back online now. I'll try to get a new vlog posted before I go under. :) Super duper whooper excited!

I am SOO excited today - it's my last day in the office and then my last evening to wrap things up at home. Whew, I thought I was really prepared but now that I am here it feels like I have SO much to get done. I highly suggest taking the day before surgery off if you can so you have time to relax and get things all in order. I was expecting to be July 11th and have the weekend before off. Whew, it's here and what I'm feeling is the same nervous giddiness that I get right before a two week vacation. Make sure I'm packed, make sure I have all my stuff in order... check, double check - am I ready? YES!!!

Butterfly you will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. You will do just fine. Can't wait to hear your story.

Good Luck and big hugs.

I had my pre-op class/nutrition class today. Wow, now I really feel overwhelmed a bit. Going to re-read the stuff again and let it sink in tonight. It's funny how surgeons differ on what you can and can not eat. I plan on making a post later tonight.

Oh wow, guys - I can't believe this is happening on Monday!!! I'm starting to get REALLY scared. I know I want this, and I know it will be the best thing for me, but I'm still feeling terrified! Are any of you guys experiencing this fear? And does anybody have any advice on how I can calm down a little?! Any ideas are appreciated!

No advice really on how to calm down. But I keep telling myself, this time next year I will be at goal, I will be thin and I will never have to worry about being overweight again.

I've thought about buying a goal outfit.......maybe a yoga/exercise one. Maybe a size Large. No XXL for me anymore. I might do that tomorrow and hang it up on my bedroom door and see how long it takes me to fit into it. Maybe try something like that.

Hugs to all the July 11th losers! We are almost there.:P

I'm out! :) I ended up staying two nights in the hospital because the morphine was making me have the worst nausea ever. I was throwing up disolved ice chips and couldn't keep anything down for more than a couple of hours. The finally switched me to demoral yesterday afternoon and I made a drastic improvement.. The pain is only mildly worse than I expected but I'm handling it pretty well now. My tummy is super tender and swollen now but nothing I can't manage.

DDA84 - I would just say that you should keep focusing on your goals throughout the whole process. It is not something you are undertaking lightly, but the results will be so worth it in the end. :)

I am so happy to have this step of the process completed and am now ready to truely begin my life journey!

Hi Guys, I am in the same boat as far as being super nervous, but I am keeping my eyes on the prize! I go in Monday morning and even last night I didn't sleep a wink. We'll all be okay!

Butterfly, glad you are back home and ok. I can't wait to see the weight start falling off of you...:D

Well today is the last day of my old life. Although I'm allowed a meal today (lunch only), I'm doing liquids all day long. My husband and son are going to do Protein shakes with me today. They are so sweet. :)

I go in at 9:30 tomorrow morning. So in a little more than 24 hrs, I'll be on the other side.

Texasmom65, Good luck tomorrow, we will be thinking about you and all of the July 11 "July FireCrackers". I hope that you have the great experience I had, with no nausea and hardly any pain - just soreness. You'll do great, I just know it.

      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!!
