This is my first time joining a Bariatric Support group. I would LOVE to have an accountability partner. If anyone is interested. I am close to 4 years out. Have lost 115 lbs, recently regained 15-20. Don't have anyone currently to be accountable to. Want to nip this thing in the bud before it gets any worse.

Hey guys!!! It is hard to believe that we are almost there. I was looking at my calendar last night and I was like holy crap there are like 4 1/2 weeks left before surgery. I just my bloodwork done and I have to redo some of them. I had blood in my urine and start Vitamin D. Since today was easter, I over indulged big time. It was kind of like a food funeral. So weird. I have found myself thinking of all the foods that I want to eat before I start my two week liquid diet prior to surgery. This is to shrink my live. I guess my clinic requires all their patient's to do this. So really it is 2 1/2 weeks before I start preparing for surgery. I still have to go to my pre op appointments. That includes the PA, nutritionist again, and an exercise guy.

I have found myself being more motivated to get outside and going for walks. I took my poor little dog on a 2 hour hike yesterday and boy in my back and hips yelling at me today. Oh well. I was really talking to my dad about this whole surgery thing today and about my liquid diet and he was like you aren't even going to need surgery. At the end of your diet, you are going to weight 130 pounds. LOL, not quite dad...

How are you guys doing? Are you getting prepared, nervous, scared, second thoughts?

I am feeling more focused every day. Went out with my brother and we ended up at Outback for lunch, I could have splurged big time, but ended up having the grilled chicken breast, steamed vegetable's and a Caesar salad. I am already asking myself "is it worth it" food questions, Weird...... :wacko:

      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!!
