I just found out I was approved for surgery late Friday afternoon in the midst of running errands, projects and family stuff.

Never had that OMG can't believe it. I have told a few friends, family. No one today to share where I am with this, so I came here.

Not sure why I feel alone in this journey tonight.

I did battle a cold this weekend. But just feeling blah.

Trying to figure out how to rebuild my energy for my preop diet, planning for my new life.

Once I confirm time off for this at work I will feel better.

Glad I have u guys, and I am not alone. My wife is very supportive, but does not get all of this.... All the time.

I found out the same day Chad :) I'm shooting for a Sept 10 date. My hubby don't really doesn't understand either and I think he knows I'm going to do it regardless. This site has been sooooo helpful for me. Not so much for advice on what to eat- when etc as I will follow doctors orders to the T. But it's about the journey itself. Congratulations on your approval- be proud and excited! You've reached the next step :)

Hee Hee- seriously! You're APPROVED. Now schedule your day for sept 10 (my way of keeping my anxiety down as I'll be a basket case the moment I walk in). So if to be unselfish- you and the rest of the September peeps should rearrange schedules to me MY needs ;).

Hahah- JK

Yep positive thoughts. Nothing but optimistic and positive thinking.

You rock!

Two weeks, no carb meals, a shake once a day. Heathly meals before that.... Six weeks. He did not give me a number to loose. I think I gained a few this past month. Time to be all in, now. I have a month instead of eight weeks. Little nervous about that.

Wow that seems like a lot! I see the doc next Tuesday but I'm hearing he doesn't require much of a pre op. Weird how docs are different. I wish she would- without her telling me I "have" to- I'm not likely to stick to anything.

Hence- the need for this tool. Best of luck in the next few weeks :)

My focus has been more on completing insurance requirements. But did not need a six month plan for 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!!
