AHHH! I just found out today that my surgery date is March 16th. 3 weeks from tomorrow.

It all seems so fast. I just started this process with an all day appointment at Mayo Clinic in November, and the time has FLOWN by.

I had my last visit with the psychologist on Friday and she signed off/discharged me then. I got the call from the surgical scheduler today and, I'm not even going to lie, started freaking out a little (okay, a lot).

Anyone else with March dates? My birthday is March 10th, so I can't think of a better way to usher in 33 than a new me.

I'm starting to get more nervous, but I keep telling myself that it's all for the better.

One preop visit, one lab visit, one bypass diet visit and then surgery. I don't know if anyone else has gone to Mayo Clinic, but they do not mess around. I've had to keep a significant food log (with pre and post-meal feelings) since November, had to cut out any alcohol and most caffeine and had to significantly increase exercise in order to be discharged.

Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out here. All of the forums here have been a massive help thus far, and I hope to post/contribute more as I go through the process.

WHEEE!

I am! Thank you! I didn't realize how dull my skin and hair looked. I'm super energetic now and feel amazing (except for seasonal sinus issues...). For the first time in my adult life I am under 300lbs. Only 72lbs to reach onederland!

March surgery peeps! How is everyone doing?

I broke both of my feet and have been non-ambulatory, but I'm holding steady at 189. I'm hoping to get these darn casts off in a few weeks so I can get down another 10 or 15 (which is crazy, considering my ultimate goal weight was 200lbs - and now it's 175lbs). I'm sure it'll be hard with the holidays, but I'm trying!

Hope all of you are doing well!

@@nearperfectmess, you look amazing!

How did everyone do for thanksgiving? I did ok. Didn't have much of an appetite as I did all the cooking, baking, and ran around keeping my sister-in-law with special needs under control. I don't have the same relationship with food. I had a few bites and I was done. My weight slowed a bit (thinking work and relationship stress). At my 7 month checkup in October, my surgeon decided I needed adipex to jump start my weight (although 365 to 260 since January is awesome since I hadn't lost that much consistently before). After four pills, I decided to look at other things to jump start weight loss other than speed. I started losing again after I started visualization and meditation, taking Probiotics, adding heavy weight lifting, and eating more. I am now 100 lbs lost since surgery. Love you guys!

How are my March surgery peeps doing? We're almost a year out now!

Things haven't been without their set-backs (the broken feet, etc), but I'm excited to be almost a year out and see where things are. Especially now that I'm starting to get some hunger back and able to eat and drink things a little more easily. I've given into a few bad things, but still trying to stick to the plan!

Down to 181 from my HW of 330, SW of 300. ONE lb shy of 150lbs down. That extra pound is driving me nuts!

Me as of about a month ago:

Great job
