The nurses from the hospital just called to do my pre-registration. They told me where to go, what to bring, reiterated my pre-op diet of clears the day before and nothing past midnight, went over my meds, and had me pay my Tricare Standard copayment for the surgery - a whopping total of $18! W00t!!! Lol!

It feels so real now! And it's so close. 5 more days!!!!

To be honest, I'm getting a little nervous...just a little.

It's perfectly normal to feel nervous. Do something nice for yourself the night before - mani/pedi, (no polish this time, they check your circulation by looking at your nail beds), massage, flowers on the table, Clear Liquids by candlelight, whatever makes you feel special and pampered and cared for.

I think I will actually go get a mani and pedi. I had heard about no nail polish but they didn't mention it during the phone call but thanks for explaining why they do that. Makes total sense! I will not get polish! :)

That's so awesome!!! Good luck and I hope you have a quick and uneventful surgery!

Thank you!!! I hope they get back to you before Friday! I know how hard it is to wait!!!

And you're right DAYS!!!! Lol!!! Like I'm literally saying "today's my last Tuesday, today's my last Wednesday" each day lol! I cannot believe it is here and it feels so surreal. I have a list to pack my bag and I was just dropping things in and checking things off and it felt like I was just on auto pilot like I couldn't believe it was about to happen yet nothing could stop me. Good luck with your surgery too and I hope they don't take all the way up until Friday to call back! :)

Clear liquids today! So excited for tomorrow! Literally by this time tomorrow I should be in surgery.

On another note, my husband just walked in the door with a huge bag of Sonic ice, a large box of sugar free Popsicles and 10 packs of sugar free Jello (4 in each pack) so I'm all set for my post-op diet. I already bought a large container of premier Protein powder and a case of 12 ready to drink ones. Here's what I get to choose from:

      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
