Recommended Posts

Just notified this week that I will be having surgery on December 9th. Forced to start my 2 week pre-op asap! I'm excited but sad I didn't get to eat all my favorite foods.

I'm excited for my new journey!! I never thought it would happen this quick.

Mavic (autocorrects as Magic!) congratulations -- very exciting. On the pre-op I was happy to drop some pounds knowing for the first time I wouldn't be gaining back again. And don't have a food funeral because eventually you will be able to have the foods you love again -- you'll just be able to make really good choices about them and be satisfied with very little. Adhere to your surgeon's plan and you will do really well. Good luck with all! During pre-op I started a walking routine and I'm really glad I did that as it gave me something to step into right after surgery. I didn't want to but I did it anyway. The walking helped kick my body into healing mode. And shedding. Be patient with the process and pat yourself on the back for choosing yourself and your healthy future. Best wishes.

Mavic I am right behind you, surgery on the 11th. How are you getting on with the pre op diet? It has been really tough for me. I cheated a little last night and had some hard cheese, a handful of cashews and a few bites of lean steak, still high Protein low carb though! Today I am determined to be more stringent.

I have a 90 minute yoga class later today and hopefully that will bliss me out!

      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?
