Lucky I forgot already what prep did you have to do before the two day liquid?

My last preop appt was the 19th. I immediately started the two week 1,200 calorie diet. Then today and tomorrow are liquids. I'm super excited but getting nervous. Do you go to the support group meetings? They're pretty informative.

Great, I'm glad it's not two weeks of liquid. I'm going to support group this Sat. I can't wait to hear how all goes for you I'm so excited for you. I'll be nervous too like you but its all so worth it.

Hello to both of you... I got a denial on mine from insurance...so I have to do one more month of supervised diet. But that's ok because that appointment is next week. Good luck on the liquids Lucky. I can't wait to be at that point. I'm getting so impatient. Wish I was in Des Moines so we could all go do a smoothie lunch or something. My 2nd grandbaby is due in November and 3rd one in April. Very exciting stuff. Nana I'm so sorry I hadn't been in touch lately. Will have to be better at that.

Tomorrow is coming fast!!! Excited but I can feel my anxiety bubbling too. I'm glad I work today. It'll help keep my mind off it. I keep thinking, "what am I doing??? Cutting off 80% of a perfectly good organ!!" lol. I know, I know.....It'll help me get this monkey off my back. food has dominated my life long enough. I'm ready to take control and enjoy activities more than food. I'm ready, still a bit scared though.

How long do you plan to be off work?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've taken three weeks only because that's what the surgeon suggested as a reasonable amount of time. I don't think I'll need that long, but I guess I won't know until I see how it goes. I work with special needs individuals and most of my work is sitting, driving, walking, bending....no heavy lifting. And I only work a few hours a week right now. We'll see. If I feel up to it, I may go back sooner. I'll miss "my kids". ;-)

Good morning! I'm on the losers bench! New chapter is beginning. :-) Everything went very smoothly. No complications. No gas pain. Very very little nausea. I took a shower and brushed my teeth this morning. I think I'll be going home around noon. Dr LaMasters is amazing. Her whole team is amazing. I've been following her rules to a T. One things that's bothering me is I'm exhausted. Taking a shower wiped me out. This will get better though. I think it's a combination of the surgery and all the meds.

      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!!

      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...
