I live in San Diego and am still doing research about everything. My insurance will be changing and I won't be able to start appointments and everything until the first of August :-(. I keep telling myself to use all of this time to get my mind ready for changes. I'd love to hear about your process and what doctors and things you are using. I'm a kaiser member so I'm not sure ow different everything will be. How long did it take you to do all of the referrals and everything and get a date set for surgery?

Yes I can't wait for monday either for the same reason. Were you down 20lbs from surg or 20 lbs grom start of the pre op diet and everything? I am down 23 from pre op diet added. So 13 from surg. Since I started my protien on monfay I haven't lost anything but the doc says its because I'm gaining my muscle back so Its a good thing and not to worry.

      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!!
