Ignore all of that gibberish... Ha!!!

I'm going through Fremont... It's been pretty smooth sailing. I have two lbs of my pre-op weight and then I'm good to go. I hade my psych eval last Thursday. Met with my surgeon the week before. I was surprised to see how fast it's going.

I was 233 when I got my referral (my highest weight... Ever). I was down to 222 at the time of my orientation and 217 during my surgeon consult (all within a month or so). I worked my butt off (literally) to try to drop it all ASAP! Ha! My surgeon told me that she wanted me to get down to 213 for my surgery goal weight. I have 2 lbs to go, and I'm at a stand still. My body is holding onto these last two lbs for dear life! LOL!

So to answer your question I believe it was 10% of my highest weight.

LoooooL! That is too funny that you asked that! I downed a bottle of magnesium citrate an took two dulcolax on my way home from work this evening. All I need to do is get the two lbs off, go weigh in at Kaiser to get it on record... And hold that weight until the day of my surgery... I figure if I can get down my two lbs, I can hold it. I think they said my surgeon is booked out a month to a month and a half at this point.

One day pre op diet sounds great! I have been reading about some people going through 2 week post op diets and that was kind of freaking me out!

      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!!
