hey jessica(uniqueladybug) thanks for updating i was just about to!

I finally converted to regular rhythm again after 48 hours of controlled rate fib. I posted a long dissertation on my blog about the situation. But the short version is I went into fib again thursday night just in time for my scheduled redo of my cardiac clearence. I went for the appt friday morning still in fib but with the new medicine I have a slower rate and am able to move around without the raging headache or dizziness. I was indeed in fib and the cardiologist and I had a long talk. He put some of my fears to rest: the main one being that my WLS would be postponed due to the fib and that he would not "clear" for surgery. He said as long as my rate is slow and I am as able as I was right then we were ok for the surgery. people live in constant fib and my bariatric team expects me to go into fib during or after surgery. I am to control my rate with another med and because i am on an anticoagulant (which I must stop 5 days before IVC placement) i will bridge the time from when I get the IVC filter(to prevent clots) til my WLS date about 3 days with lovenox (a shot to anticoagulate me). so we have a plan for any complications due to my heart crap TG i was so worried it would cause me to not be a september member!

I'm on day 6 of liquid pre op diet. Not easy, but not as bad as I thought it would be. chicken Boullion has become my best friend. It's good n salty and feels like real food going down! We can do this! One day at a time, right?! We've come too far and are too close now to let anything stop us! :-)

      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!!
