Laced up- yay! Military family! :)

He won't leave till I'm 3 weeks post op... So that's good. I do have a few GF's here... But I'm really setting things up for him/our kids. He works constantly so he won't be much help anyway. LOL! I have frozen casseroles for the kids, and tons of broths/mushies for me. So I'll be fine!

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.

I just got my date today! Mine is the 28th also!

My surgery is October 15 at 7:30 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am!!! Sunday, a tooth I got a root canal in 15 years ago starting hurting. By evening the pain was really bad. I used one of my husband's pain pills from a car wreck he had in July. Even that didn't control the pain. Went to dentist Monday and he referred me to Endodontist. That office x-rayed my tooth and determined I have a crack in my tooth and that it is infected around where the roots used to be. He prescribed better pain meds and a Z-pak to cut the infection. I go back tomorrow afternoon so he can extract the tooth and clean around it. Hopefully the tooth won't crumbled and can be reinserted. If not, I have to get a partial bridge or implant.

I've been careful to ask for pain meds with Tylenol to kill toothache pain. The liquid diet isn't bothering me cause I can't chew anything anyway. What a time to have this since my Surgery is next Tuesday, 10/15.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
