Okay I will be arriving in San Diego on the 8th around 225pm and leaving at 12 on the 13th. So we will be right behind each other :) I have been doing 2 Protein Shakes a day for some time now but I will start on the pre-op diet probably on the 3rd of December. I can't wait to hang out with you! Super Excited!!! Yes, it's better to start now with drinking your Protein shakes because it took me a while to get used to do 2 a day and now I love them. What shakes are you using? Also from my understanding please pack your towels and wash cloths because I keep reading that the hospital runs out of them. So just be prepared :)

I will be arriving in San Diego at 2:55pm, and then leaving at 6:15pm on the 13th. We should definitely get together while we are there. I am super excited!! I already started packing my carry on, lol. Have you started dieting yet? I have kinda started this week just to ease my way into it even though the plan I was given had me starting later.

I am in the medical field so I plan to stock up on meds in Tijuana. I have not told my primary care dr about my vsg yet, so I want to get some things for post op care just in case. I want to get injectable B12 ( for energy), protonix ( many us doctors recommend using this for 6 months post op for gerd prevention), and ursodiol ( to help protect the gallbladder as rapid weight loss can kill your gallbladder). I plan to go to one of the pharmacies on Revolution st at some point and if you are interested you should come with me.

      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.

      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!!
