I have a namesake for everything that is mine so I figured I just soon name my sleeve too....So Keyah Neranti (in good health victory is health) will be born soon!

I'm not sure if I am more excited than nervous. Maybe its a mix of emotions.

I have so much to do before then. My last day of work is today the 1st.

I've done all my preop requirements and such I start my clear liquid diet on Wednesday but I'm electing to start early on Tuesday apparently I have a hemorrhoids problem just discovered so I shall start the clears early in hopes to rush out all the gunk for my own sakes!

I bought gas-x, nonskid socks, tylenol, stocks, puddings, lotions, Soups, Protein mix, Vitamins, and gosh knows what else I will need. My suitcase is packed..according to the doctor I will only be there ONE DAY...WHOOOT that will be amazing! So I am bringing one set of clothes for home and an extra blankets and my pillow!

I've turned in all my paperwork to be off work, I'm paying all the bills by Wednesday, I'm washing down the entire house and santitizing from top to bottom. I'm having the car cleaned. I'm forwarding all my calls to voicemail.

I have reorganized my Keyah Neranti book - is a binder of all my paperwork, visits here and there, food requirements, and everything else surgery related. I am going to add a section to log my food for the first month until my doctors check in just in case something comes up figured I'd have it logged.

My cheering squad (my girlfriend and son) have been super supportive and are ready to be my personal on call nurses for the next four weeks. They have litterally threatened me if I try to do anything but walk! haha!

I have elected not to share any of my success with the remainder of my family as I mentioned it two years ago when I started this journey and they had negative opinions. Though I totally relate and understand their concerns at the end of the day this is for "ME" not them.

I feel like there is still something I'm missing?!

Wheww... there's alot going on talk about a merry go around of feelings - thoughts - emtions - activities!

I also colored my hair blue last week! haha I thought it would wash out a bit before surgery I will have to figure out what to do with it the day of so I don't turn everything at the hospital blue!

They are going to love your blue hair at the hospital! Good luck to you. You have such a positive attitude and I think that will translate to phenomenal success. =)

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
