There are several things that I'm looking forward to-- probably the biggest is to get rid of the power of fear- fear to try new things- fear in how I look to others- fear of how I look in clothes- fear of how I look without clothes on- fear of trying yoga, or jogging because my mind erases the can do it before I even try.

I'm so excited to becoming a better me!!

On the downside- I'm never sick, and I'm now starting on a Zpack today. I can't believe the timing- I should be home in bed, but that wouldn't cut it at my job since I'm taking a bunch of time off for surgery!

Good luck and I'm so excited for all of us!

Hi how are you feeling!

All my appointments are finished- I had preop stuff yesterday.

I get 8 weeks off !!

This weekend I can only do Clear liquids, and sf Jello, Popsicles .

I looked up how to make homemade beef and chicken broth, cause even the low sodium ones that you find in the store has lots of sodium.

I'm making chick and beef broths in Saturday then freezing them.

I did tell my husband and 15 year old boy that kitchen is off limits all weekend and they should plan to watch football elsewhere this weekend!! ( so no snackey foods or smells of food are allowed) !!

My husband has been great, but I don't want to see or smell temptations!!

I'm so excited. I'm having sleeve surgery on Monday Sept 8th in Oconomowoc Wi. I've been on my rote in shakes now for 11 days and I've lost 12 pounds. I'm so excited for this journey. I haven't had many problems with this diet. Anyone from my area that also has Dr Peter Garza?

Surgury is Monday.. OMG time has flew by. today is my last day of work and then I will be off for 2 weeks. I would love to have been able to take more time off, but thats all I can afford. I am so excited my pre op diet has been great. My doc is not as strict because we just do low carbs for 3 weeks and then Clear Liquids after 6pm on sunday!!! He says he does not believe in the liquid pre op. OH Well good for me :P . I got my hgb a1c and it is down from 11.5 a month ago to 8.6 now.. Wow i cant believe i did it. I'm bigger than most of you so what I am looking forward to first is being able to see my lovely manicured toes without bending over or lifting my feet.. Its the little things.. I have a lot of others I am looking forward to.. :blush: shopping in a normal store....not casing a room when i enter it for a chair that looks big and sturdy enough for me... Water slides with my kids with no fear of getting stuck... disneyland and not being worried that I wont fit in the rides. not always being the biggest girl in the room.... being desribed as the pretty nurse with brown hair and not the big nurse...I have lost 15 pounds pre op diet and 35 pounds so far this year..... I am so ready for this.... Good lucky all and lets all post befor and after surgury on Monday....

I start my pre op diet tomorrow as well.

I'm glad to hear others are doing so well on it!

I hate to even admit how emotional I have been today!

Just a lot of stuff going through my head.

Talked with my doc yesterday over the phone and I am number 2 on the list Monday morning!

Praying that everyone's weekend flies bye and we all have fabulous surgeries

I'm happy as well... I had the head stuff going on yesterday too, so many different emotions can't wait to sleep during surgery to rest my poor brain! They told me to be a hosp at 5:30 am on Monday. Best of luck and next week at this time we will be on the other side and helping each other with post op......:)

I have a pan of sugar free lime Jello in the fridge, a pitcher of crystal light made up... Homemade beef broth and chicken broth simmering!!

Let's do this !!! Woop woop!!

Also, something that works for me, if I get hungry and sick of Soup, I'm going to drink a cup of hot tea or even just a hot cup of water- that settles my stomach!

Going to yoga in the park- ( I've never done yoga, but it's a fundraiser and my other yoga virgin friend is going also)...,

All prepping for a new lease on life!!!

Good luck everyone!!

I check in at 7:30 Monday!!

      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.
