Hello everyone. This is my first time posting but have been reading the posts for a couple of days now. I am currently doing my protocol now (on my way to my endoscopy now) and am hoping to have my surgery in Jan. this is such a GREAT place and I have learned so much in just a short time. I know I probably sound crazy but I Ana nervous wreck right now. I'm trying to talk to myself that I am doing this for me and is one step closer to the new me. Any good vibes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Good vibes here, it is a scary process but hopefully in the end you will be happier for the decision. There were so many times in the months working up to the surgery that I wanted to run away, hated all the medical tests...but finally they were over and all is well.

I understand and can relate to your fear. I went through it myself. My only regret is that I did not have the surgery years ago. Look at it this way, you will be gaining a longer, healthier life after surgery. Best of luck to you and I promise it is worth it.

I agree with you, I wish I hadn't waited so long! No regrets here.

I just finished with my nutritionist. I had to see one for 3 months. I didn't need to ask anything mine was great and had all the info I needed. Make sure you get some ideas on what types of food you can and can not eat and what you should be eating now. Basically you should be cutting sugars out and eating more Protein. Questions will come to you as you are talking to the nutritionist. How many times do you need to go?

      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!!
