What is a FUPA lol?

Fat upper pubic area - that dangling kangaroo pouch, so attractive. And jiggly.

If I don't show up at Panera on July 16, follow the trail of giant toothmarks along the highway back to Seattle. You may find me eating skyscrapers. I'll bet they crunch like chicken bones.

Not coincidentally, I'm ready for an award for almost making it through another day surviving on freakin' liquids. I did some errands to get away from my kitchen. But did you know that office supply stores have mesmerizing food aisles? How about Petco - those frosted doggy treats look delicious, but I'd even settle for some kangaroo jerkey from the checkout temptations shelf.

I'm not technically hungry, I know I know, but this sure feels like another crash diet and I am OVER IT already!

So, the low-cal crankiness has apparently set in at my house. How are you guys doin'?

Ha ha ha! This made me laugh. Glad you're keeping your sense of humor!

I've enjoyed hearing about everyone's recovery so far. I have a consult appt. with Dr. Srikanth at the end of this week. I'm excited and nervous! Based on my insurance, I'll probably be cleared in Oct/Nov to have the surgery. I'd still love to be part of your support group though. I think hearing your experience might help me know what is coming my way.

One more thing, did anyone have a nutritionist/dietician that they liked in the Auburn/Federal Way area? I need one for my pre-op requirements.

Hey Jen, would love to have you join us.

My insurance did not require nutrition visits. When you consult at Dr Srikanth's office, their care coordinator will confirm your insurance requirements and then provide you with referral options.

Thanks, they referred me to ATI physical therapy and nutrition but thought maybe someone has someone they really like.

Yes, Gretchen at St. Francis in Federal Way is great and just an all around great lady.

Hi all! This thread quieted down a while back, but I thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing?

What's new? How's life? What's your status?

I'm working through my 2 week preop diet. 9 more days!!

Congrats! How are you handling the preop diet?

I swing between being totally starving and feeling satisfied and fine. I never knew how much love I could feel for a cup of carrots!

I do feel a little less energetic than usual, so I hope I adjust to the reduced calories soon and get my mojo back. I would kill for a cup of tea right now!

You are GHC right? Has Overlake called to set your surgery time yet? I'm still waiting to find out when mine is.

      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?
