Water Water water! And if you can, rest. I am in day three. This is the first day I didn't have a headache when I woke up. Yesterday I tried to walk around the block every time I felt hungry. My daughter loved it and it helped distract me and may be the reason I feel better today. I'm down 6lbs since Thursday.

In my head I'm Dory from Finding Nemo. "Just keep swimming...just keep swimming." Lol.

Sorry! I've convinced myself its not as bad as I'm making it out to be in my head. But being "hangry" makes everything seem 10 times worse than it is. Lol.

I have 2 days to go--surgery on Monday. I have a plan......SLEEP as much as humanly possible, drink my Protein shakes and just hang in there. Tomorrow Clear liquids ONLY. No Protein drinks. I feel tired and dizzy and weak but I am not a quitter and I don't think any of you are either. I/WE can DO THIS!!! I am only hours away from being a healthier, skinnier me! I have just ordered my post op Vitamins and they should be here by the time I get home from the hospital. My church is praying for a quick recovery. I am good to go!!! WHOO HOO!!!

      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!!
