Time goes by really fast the closer you get to your surgery date. I am about a week away and I keep asking myself where has time gone?

Talked to my boss today, she was very supportive. Told her I was having a sleeve, not just bariatric surgery like before. She said any week was good except the week of September 17th. So it looks like Sept 24 th may work. Going to call the surgeons office tomorrow, if I do not hear from them by noon. They should of gotten my acceptance packet from the bariatric coordinator, since she called me Friday.

I am actually excited to do the preop diet. Some of my last meals over the summer left me feeling not so good. Time for a deep carb cleanse, and prep for a new life!

Maybe this is my "midlife crisis" reaction.... Ah, perhaps a sportscar when I get to goal. Take the wife on a romantic roadtrip to the keys.

But first, I drink shakes!

I Desoerately need a carb cleanse! Sounds crazy but I want my doc to put me on a longer pre op diet.

I thought of starting early, too!

When I was successful on weight watchers for a few years, I never felt better because I had stopped eating all sweets and junk food.

Too funny. Well I expect it to be used then.

I'd like you to go to surgery first though as this isn't all about you but rather- paving the road for me :). Hahahahahahahahahha

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
