Srreeder, Thanks for replying. How are you doing 5 wks out? Hope it's going well. I'm in the midst of meeting insurance and doctor criteria, all of which is grinding right along. If all goes well surgery may happen near end of June. Cross fingers! If you have time I would like to hear how your last 5 weeks have gone, what Dr P wants you to do post-op.

I am doing wonderful! No complications, down 24 lbs since surgery, 44 total. I was able to start flying again at 4 weeks out, job requirement! I can find items on most menus, if not I keep a handy Protein mix in my bag. I I did have on sticking episode at a lunch with a co-worker, got the foamies in front of a co-worker, had to super spit, gag, into a napkin. That was a little embarrassing. Almost had Moon over Montreal in the Montreal airport, my pants just kept on sliding down! I have found I have to make myself walk, stairs, throughout my day. I use MyBasis tracker to ensure I get my steps. The poet op diet was the usual 1 week liquid, 2 full liquid, 2 puréed, 2 soft. I advanced myself a little quicker and had no probs.

I hope that helps! Dr. p rocks!

@ Music1618...yes Dr. Thompson had us all cracking up at the part 2 consultation...funny but a great way of emphasizing some important points.

@ BariatricCeliac...oooh...Good Luck...that is coming up pretty quick....are you ready?

Jun 17 seems so far off in some ways.....but as I'm reading and researching....it seems about right. I'm on a teacher schedule, so Jun 17 is the day I picked. I have only shared with one of my team mates because I know she can keep a secret....some of my team-mates have such a negative opinion of WLS because they know one person who got a bowel obstruction 10 years ago....so I'm just not ready to share with them...my family is totally supportive and that is what matters most.

I am SO ready!! I started this journey in October (insurance required six month waiting period) so it has been a long time coming. I had my pre-op visit with my surgeon today... so excited. :)

Thank you, for your Southern hospitality, in welcoming me to this site. Congrats on your surgery date 10-28-13! That is the day I start my 2 week pre-op diet. I am having my surgery on 11-11-13 as well as my Husband. I am going in first then him. Yippie!

Janifer, how did that work out, with you and your husband same day? How long did you stay at the hospital? How was recovery?

      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.
