By the way, my surgeon is Chris Cobourne. I obviously mangled the typing so bad that autocorrect had to step in!!

I had my last 'real food' meal tonight. Tomorrow liquids start for 3 days then surgery on Friday! After 7 days of the low calorie, I lost 8.6lbs so far. I also did week 1/day 1 of Focus T25 tonight with our youngest daughter.

Oh, and I did pre-op bloodwork today too...so it's happening very quickly!!

Thanks to all for your well wishes. Now one day post op; I have an upper GI X-ray this morning and should be released by noon. Has beed some pain and soreness but nothing like I was expecting. Wish you could have seen the surgeon's face this morning when I asked if I could have scrambled eggs for breakfast....you could just see him trying to decide if I was serious :))

Good luck everyone! Mine is Friday as well! I'm super excited and I've lost 10 pounds already from my pre-op sugar busters diet. I'm very motivated at this point :-)

So I have surgery in the morning and the most HORRIBLE thing so far is the mag citrate that my Dr has us drink the night before to ensure the bowels are empty and won't be in the way. UGH!!!! Good Lord why couldn't it be Miralax! Well, I got about 2 oz left and my lovenox shot to do so back to my stand off...btw flavoring nastiness is still nastiness! :-S

Well, showingmyinsides, guess it's you and me tomorrow morning! I am booked for 830. I have sympathy for the cal mag problem...I just tried my liquid version and it's not great!! I am nervous, mainly just want it over and done with. So I will be sending prayers your way as I head off in the morning! Hope we feel well enough to post updates later tomorrow.

Minimom, I did a two week slim fast and low glycemic veggie pre op diet. It was ok after the first couple days...the shakes are really good.

      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!!
