Dec 8th for me! Woohoo! 14 days and I start my pre op diet tomorrow. As for hospital stay time: my Dr said 1-2 nights with most people only staying one :) Happy dieting everyone :)

I've started my preop diet today. I'm starting a week early, but I think that's for the best. This way I have some wiggle room.

I have 16 more days til my VSG in Mexico with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I am beyond excited! I took some time today to really dig deep and think of some non-scale victories. I think they are so beneficial because for my this journey is more than the number on the scale. Its about how I want to feel and the woman I want to be again. Im 31 yrs old and I feel as though I have lost years of my life yoyo dieting. I think a list of NSV's if not only motivating while losing but especially when maintaining so I can remind myself why i dont wanna go backwards. I had a coworker tell me that I dont need to have the surgery and I was highly offended. She is much smaller than me and has never battled with her weight. She does not know my stryggle and will never understand. Anywho... such is life... I'm sharing mine and I would love to read yours.

What a great idea. I get so caught up in the planning, prepping, classes I forget to dig deep and think about what I will be able to accomplish with the weight gone, beyond the obvious of course . Number one for me tho is being able to play longer, harder, goofier with my grand daughter whom I adore.

Surgery on December 29th. So excited!

Just saw this TEDx lecture on how to psych yourself into successful habits by keeping your eye on the prize. If you watch it, I'd love to hear your ideas for how to apply these techniques post-surgery. http://www.ted.com/talks/emily_balcetis_why_some_people_find_exercise_harder_than_others

Well getting sleep in December isn't going to happen. During the removal of my lap band yesterday, I had a minor stress induced heart attack. Now I have to deal with rehab and a new diet to get my heart strong again, before they will even consider surgery.

      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! 😞
