My surgery is scheduled for March 26. I started my preop diet today. 1000 calories 75 grams of Protein and 64oz of Water. So far so good. I'm super excited and nervous. I am ready to get this journey started. I haven’t told many people about the surgery. Just a few family members and my supervisors. They all have been very supportive throughout this process.

I have FEP BCBS and they approved me in 48 hours.

      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.
