Tomorrow is the day! Super pumped and no nerves yet.

I started my process on 10/22/15 by attending and informational session. Almost didn't continue with the process because my BMI is on the 40 border and thought I'd be "punished" for losing weight prior to surgery and would no longer qualify. Lesson learned; always ask questions!!!

I started on a 1,600 calories a day diet for the next six months per my insurance requirements. I have lost 27 lbs. so far! I am hoping to be down to 250 for surgery.

I have been on a mostly liquid diet this past week. My doctor said because I've lost more than double the ask that my daily pre-op diet could include two Protein shakes and a Lean Cuisine or similar meal.

Last night was a shot of MoM - gross! Today it's all liquid. SF Jello and Water for Breakfast. Lol. Will have bone broth for lunch and dinner. Water, water, water!

That's all for now. Just signed up today. Looking forward to learning a lot here and about the new me!

Great job yourself. And yes, we need to hold each other up in every way, not tear each other down. It's probably sort of the reason we got here in the first place. I am excited to see my progress continue. I feel great!!!!

Leftover meatballs from dinner. Some for hubby's lunch tomorrow and purred the rest for me.

Ps, I'm almost 39 years old. I think age also makes a difference in our results.

I'm nine years older, its all how you take it in. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Had my first food today. Pretty uneventful. Fine by me if food no longer gets me excited. I ate about 2/3 of a T and that's all I could handle. Will see what lunch has in store for me.

Kind of already over it and it's only begun. Not in a bad way but more meh....

Two words: INFUSED WATER!

I know it's not a new thing. Not even for me. Maybe it's my sleeve, idk. But it tastes amazing and refreshing. Two more words: Lemon orange!

I can't wait to start that phase! My Nutritionist begged me not to eat baby food She said please cook and purée it lol. I hadn't planned to eat baby food anyway. Only like their bananas

At the swimming beach today with the kids. My last years suit is too big on top. It's a halter so I made it work.

Feeling free as I could give a rip how I look because I feel so good about myself these days.

That's awesome! How you feel about yourself makes all the difference! When you feel good, everything is good! Lol

How are you doing?

First time I've owned a scale. Won't have much to compare it to until the doc office on 7/5. But if I calibrated it correctly I am down to 227.4. 2.1 pounds in seven days.

I'll take it. I can't lose five pounds a week forever. But I can wish.
