I've been trying to save but it has been hard because I was off of work for almost 2 months in january and February. Bleh!

I have been working crazy overtime, so it has been easy to save a little extra, plus i have a coupon for $10 off the pedicure

My surgery is the 9th as well.

I'm on 2 Protein shakes and 1 small meal of lean Protein and veggies. I am thinking of skipping the meal tonight though and just doing another shake because my final preop appt is tomorrow and I'll be weighed again :unsure: .

Looking forward to getting my surgery time though tomorrow. I really hope it's early because I don't want to sit around all day worrying and not being able to drink anything.

I hear ya, I am not having surgery tll 2:45 and that is going to suck.,....not drinking anything

Oh, got busy today and am just now eating. I never realized how much I thought about food before. Now that I'm not always thinking about it and planning my meals I don't get the horrible head hunger and am only aware that I haven't eaten when my body tells me. Definitely ready for the surgery and to be on my way to recovery!

That's great! Let us know how things go! How much have you lost on the pre-op diet so far?

As of Monday, I have lost 20 pounds. Hopefully I've lost a little bit more, I'll find out tomorrow :-)

I agree. Since I've been on the preop diet, I don't think about food all the time like I was before. I think it's because I know what I'm allowed and it's all planned out. Also the Protein Shakes keep me satisfied and I usually never feel hungry. I was eating stuff with little nutritional value before and was always craving more.

Good Luck Ladies! I think a pedicure and new hairdo is an excellent way to get this party started. I am having surgery on June 25th. I am also thinking about a new "do."

That is a great idea! I think I might splurge a little today and go get a pedi to go along with my new hair.

My surgery is next Thursday, June 12th. I got a new, super-short pixie cut last weekend and I'm looking forward to a new and improved body to go with it! I work in an admissions office on a college campus and it seems like there is a potluck for a baby shower, a retirement, or birthday every week. It's been hard to resist all the goodies, but I just keep telling myself the sacrifice will be worth it.

      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!!
