Hi, Lauren -

I'm also just starting on the journey. I've had my initial consult and my first NUT visit (second one is this week).

Do you have to go for 6 months of visits or 3? I see we have the same Doc.

I have to do 6 months because it's an insurance requirement. I wish it wasn't so, or I would have done this in December, but I'll hopefully make good use of the time by changing some things about my eating habits. Do you have a date scheduled yet?

Just wanted to say Hi, I am also on the Peninsula. I have been working hard since July/August of 2012 to get approval through my insurance company. I am on day 2 of my pre-surgery liquid diet and have eight more to go, it's been a little rough today but I'm trying to stick to it. I have surgery on the 30th. I 'm really excited but scared at the same time. I hope to make some new friends and find good support :rolleyes:

I hope all goes well, I'm very excited but scared also. This liquid diet isn't too bad however, it's hard to be in the same room as my family at dinner. Who's your doctor and where are you having your surgery?

I had a hard time being in the room with food or cooking during pre op too... I went to Mexico for surgery and was with Dr Ortiz at the OCC in TJ.

      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!!
