It has been a journey that started at the beginning of this year but, I'm ready. October 16 was the date I was given for my Sleeve.

So I'll start my pre-op diet October 2, hope I survived!!!

I am going to have my surgery the 13th and I have my nutrition class on Oct 2. I will I guess start my preop diet shortly after that depending on when they want me to start and when I can get prepared for that. It is really getting close.

Preparing to start my pre-op diet this thursday. I try one of the Bariatric Advanatge shakes today to see how it taste and I like it. So I'll buy the vanilla one and add the Capella Flavors to enhance it. Tomorrow I have to go to the Alexian Brothers Hospital to do my prep tests. So the journey is really kicksatarting.

I'm set for surgery a week from today. My pre-op blood work appt is tomorrow. I've not done very well on my pre-op diet. Worried about how that will play out. Have been super excited until this week. Now sad and scared about new lifestyle.

Oh my god I've lost 12 pounds in my first 5 days of my pre-op diet and I've even eat chicken breasts but no carbs or fat.

My op is the 16th so I'm 10 days away, I hope I continue to feel relaxed as I'm now up tip the op day.

My surgery is tomorrow. Waiting for the hospital to give me my arrival time. Its making for a very anxious day. I only had to to do a low cal diet for 5 days n then Clear Liquids for 3 but im down 8 lbs. I was really surprised at how easy the liquid phase is. I expected to be much hungrier.

      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
