Write down how you feel and why you are doing this. You may need it for reflection during the harder times. Take a lot of before pictures - especially day of surgery. Invest in heating pads, gas x - types of medication (baby drops), and try to join a local WLS support group.

I'm sure you can find them somewhere else but costco is the cheapest :) I've been on pureed food for over a week now. I'm in transition to soft foods now. I haven't had any problems getting Water or Protein in. I've been lucky that way. I am getting sick of drinking all day long when I'm not thirsty though!

Hey!! I watched ur latest video (5 week update). What foods r u eating now? And thanks for the Isopure idea. I keep hearing how awful Isopure tastes so I had not planned on trying it; but I liked the Apple Melon one. And it's sooooo nice to have a break from milky Protein drinks!!!! They r just so darn expensive BUT post op I guess it may not be so bad since I can't drink as much and as fast as I can now.

I'm not really nervous surprisingly enough. More nervous that I'm going to forget to do something before surgery. Last night I had a dream I forgot not to eat the morning of surgery and I had a full Breakfast. LOL. I'll keep u all posted on how it all goes. I know it will be fine too! Thanks LB!!!

I had my surgery 1 year ago! It started off very rocky and I have to exercise and work on Protein and Water. I put up before and after pictures on the main page.

      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!!
