Good luck to everyone on their journey!

I sucked it up and had my hubby take my before pics. I thought id die of embaressment (I know he knows what I look like but I hate pointing out how fat I am) but he was great about it. My two y/o son even helped! He used my phone (while hubby used his own) and we played fashion show. Amazingly my son took great pics!

My surgery is in 3 days!! I'm keeping busy canning tomatoes and pickles, picking blackberries for the freezer and things like that. Tomorrow is a fun day at the caverns with my 6 yr old Grandson and Thursday will be cleaning and canning more tomatoes! I am excited and have moments of nervousness and I am so ready to be on the "other side" of this!!!

God Bess everyone having surgery this week!

I was emailed my list of things to have done starting Friday, August 1st when I have to have an endoscopy, pulmonary function test and pre surgery class and I have to start pre op diet. On August 4th cardiac testing and clearance. August 5th I have sleep Study consult. August 11th I have pre op studies.. blood, chest xray and assessment, and I meet with Dr. I am having my surgery done August 15th!!!! It is also my birthday!

I have had to quit smoking on top of it all. This is the hardest part. She is allowing me to use the nicotine patch which is helpful.

I am also a smoker so I totally understand onmyway! Though I have to be totally nicotine free for surgery or my dr wont do it. He said Nicotine causes issues with healing AND smokers are more prone to leaks!! So, I am on day 2 smoke free. Think the head stuff is the hardest part - not really going through "withdrawals" so much as I am having to talk myself out of negotiating reasons that I could smoke for another day or two if I wanted because nicotine is undetectable in urin after 4 days...LOL I am having surgery on the 5th and I really waited until last minute to stop smoking even though it would have been best to quite at least 2 weeks prior. SO I am disappointed that I didnt start last week. I finally had to tell myself that if I cant give up smoking how the heck do I plan on sticking to a healthier lifestylel?? I am going to do what I need to do!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
