January 7 seems so far away, but I know it's so close. I'm ready for my new journey! I'm ready to be able to sit on the floor and not have to worry about looking like a beached whale while trying to get up. Haha!! I'm ready to go to the gym and know there's going to be progress this time. I'm ready to be able to go shopping at regular stores and have options. :) so much to look forward to!!

Hey guys! I'm scheduled for January 13th! I know exactly how you feel. It seems so far away but less than a month to go. I'm just so ready to go. Time seems like its dragging by. I also can't wait to be able to go into a store and try on clothes. I haven't done that in about 10 years! So ready to get this show on the road!! Good luck with your day! One more thing whats your pre op diets like? And how many days? Mine is two weeks two shakes a day with 3/4 cup of vegetables, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, three fruits. Not to bad ...

My diet will be 2 weeks of liquid. 4 Protein Shakes a day plus can have Clear Liquids like broth. Going to be rough. And Christmas Day will be in my two weeks and I am cooking for my extended family! Yours sounds better than mine! Lol!

I don't have to start my diet until the day before! I've just gotten over a bad stomach bug and haven't had an appetite for a week now... Getting a jump start on the weight loss! ;) (wish it were that easy!)

Erin you are lucky! Only the night before should be a breeze. Betsy yours does sound harder than mine. I don't think I could do only liquids. I'm glad I get to have some small amounts of something each day. I'm sure after surgery we won't even want anything to eat. I can't wait for that day!

Yes Erin you are lucky! I wish mine were that easy. I am not sure how I will manage shakes for two weeks but I will do my best!

I am glad to have found two more people that are having dates close to mine! Hopefully we can compare notes as we go!

I'm thinking about starting a blog but I'm not sure. I had one when I had my lapband but I didn't keep up with it.

Do you have one?

No I don't but I will probably just write about it on here. You should follow @dreamscometrue. I had the pleasure to meet her at a class we had to go to but she's been writing about how everyday has been since surgery. It's very interesting, helpful, and encouraging!! :)

      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!!
