Can't believe it's finally here. I remember when I made the countdown ticket on my phone. It was 94 days. I'm sitting at work drinking my lunch. In 2.5 hours I will head home to pack up the car.

We are driving to Columbus Ohio tonight to meet up with my mom and then we are flying out tomorrow morning. Woo hoo!!

The hubs and I are both getting surgery Monday. Very much looking forward to being on the other side.

Keep us posted on how things go! (My ticker says 48 days...I know what you mean. Some days I think it's a lifetime away, others I think "OMG - it's too soon!"

Made it to San Antonio. We're checked in at the hotel. Best part of the trip so far...getting off the hotel shuttle, hubs stood up and his jean shorts fell to his knees. Bahaha. Guess the pre-op diet is really working.

Thanks everyone! We are back in the US. The trip was trouble-free. We fly home tomorrow morning. It'll be great to be home in our own bed.

Dr Alvarez and his staff were fantastic. Most of the nurses didn't speak English; however, it seemed there was always someone available if we needed something. Rosie, the hospital van driver was great. Lots of funny stories & she made the trip enjoyable.

      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!!
