Thanks for the support in advance. I'm super exited, though I'm sure I'll get nervous soon.

Nervous, neh!

I remember the first visit I made to the Bariatric doctor's office. My knees trembled all the way back to the car. I was kind of looking around the see if people could see me shaking. I haven't felt that way since I was 12 and I was convinced I was seeing an UFO. It was not, by the way.

But the more you learn about the process the more comfortable you will feel.

In 2 days, my life is changing in 2 days! Not counting Thursday since that is the Day! I had my last pre op physical and I'm down from 249/250 to 244 ( I only needed to lose a few pounds). My doctor said my liver feels normal so I guess it must be good, not enlarged.

I've hit a couple speed bumps on my liquid diet. First three days I was 100% compliant. Today I backslid pretty hard. Only thing I can do is pick myself up and start over starting now.

I find the hardest times for me are when I'm alone. I'm a sneaky eater- I have been for years. I'm trained to "take advantage" of every moment of solitude = binge. breaking that habit is something I'm still dealing with and its the thing I'm most frightened of after surgery.

You are correct. Pick yourself up and keep going. I just finished day 6 today and it is tough. I keep telling myself if I cheat my liver will tell my doctor. dinner time is the worst. You are doing great and you will overcome.

I am having the RNY and I've just begun the liquid diet last night. There was a challenge. I just hope I make it through.

      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.
