Hi Ladies and for those of you who surgery is today I hope all is well. Rachel I didn't call you Jim did I??? Sometimes I am a little dingy sorry if I did. So Steph and Jakat I guess you guys are sleeping away right now. How long are you guys taking off? I have been trying to cut back on the carbs and trying to get exercise in but been under the weather recently....but I will SURVIVE. After my succcessful weightloss and surgery I hope to be singing it's RAINING STRAIGHT MEN!!! lol...Yes Steph its sad to hear about Iggy I read what is going on with her and hope all will be well with her. From what I read I guess this is very rare what happen to her. Well guys lets all keep in contact and keep each other motivated!!!!

I'm very pre-op and I have my first appointment with the nut and exercise physiologist tomorrow. I'm going to Tri-Health weight management center at Good Sam hospital. I'm nervous. I've lost some weight since I first met with them a couple of months ago and I'm now under 40 BMI (just under). I'm nervous and just wanted to touch base with some others in the area that have already past the stage I'm at. I'm nervous about gaining weight and getting rejected like I did before. I had breast cancer and I have to tell you the treatment was a breeze compared to this. No question about insurance covering it and everyone treats you so nice. I'm afraid my past experience is going to sabotage this. Although I do feel more ready for it then I did then. I was more desperate then. I haven't been heavy long just the last 7 of my 51 years. But it was a fast ride up the weight scale.< /p>

I'm rambling. I'll end this now.

Hi everyone.. Well I am day 2 post-op.. I feel pretty good.. So good that I overdid it today and felt horriable this evening.. I went in for surgery at 12:30 and I was able to go home at 6pm!!! I can't believe it.. For the most part, I feel really good.. Still taking pain meds, but haven't had to take anything for nausea.. The entire staff at Dr. Currys office are all rock stars!! Rachel & Jakat.. Hope you guys are doing well!!

Mickie & Lynn.. My approval went really fast.. I had my initial consult on July 17, scope on aug 6th and surgery on the 24 th.. I didn't have to lose any weight prior to surgery, just the 14 day liquid diet required by dr. Curry..

Oh, and due to my physical requirements at work, I will be taking the entire 4 weeks allowed.. Hope some of this helps..

aww jakat i'm glad to hear from you!! I'm glad your surgery went well! and I hear you, I'm still struggling to get in enough liquids and Protein so I bought unflavored powder to put in everything. it's helping. and I found these shakes at costco that have 30 g for one shake so when i get some $$ i'm gonna buy them lol and i took one laxative to have a bm during the first week. but now mine are becoming a bit more normal.. so best of luck and i pray for fast recovery for you!!

Hey lynn!! thanks for the congrats! it's just so crazy that I can say I'm under 250 now.. and my bmi is high 37 like 37.9 or something.. I'll take it! lol I can't even remember the last time I was under 250! My lowest recent weight ( since before the surgery) was 255, then I ballooned back up to 285 earlier this year! so it's just amazing really.. I'm still think i'm loosing it slowly though, but it is because i still need to get in all my Protein and exercise but yayy lol I hope all is going well for you!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
