Glad people seem to be doing ok! I feel so behind since I haven't had surgery yet! :P

I had a bunch of pre-op work done yesterday... I can only imagine how much my bill is going to be after having 10-15 different blood tests, 2 urine tests, 2 chest x-rays, and an abdominal ultrasound. :o But, it's for a good cause!

Mindi how are things going for you? What stage food are you on? I go for 2 week follow up on Tuesday anxious to visit with them. I'm having no issues getting my Protein or Water in from what I read I think I'm pretty lucky.

Patty I'm doing great. I'm on soft foods now. But really I can eat anything as long as it's not hard and I chew really well. Are you on soft foods now? I'm really struggling with getting my Water in. Had one bottle yesterday and barely ate. I didn't feel bad...just didn't want to eat or drink. But that came back to bite me last night when I got really nauseous and dizzy. The more water I drank the better I felt. You keep up the good work though. That will save you. How's everything else going? Are you taking Vitamins yet?

Mindi I am still on liquids till I go on Tuesday to clinic. But liquids include cream Soup, oatmeal, kind of stuff. I'm taking all Vitamins too. I'm looking forward to purée stage hopefully on Wed. Yes be sure you try hard to get your Water in you don't want uti or dehydrated issues. Keep doing good too!!!

Well I pray they let you slide right on through to soft foods. That's what mine did. It's awesome not to have to blend all my food. I'm glad things are going so well for all of us. Abbie will hopefully come to a meeting on Monday. She's almost ready to be sent in to insurance at the end of the month. She's going to need all of us praying for her too. So glad Pam cam through her surgery great. What a great new year we will all have.

Good morning ladies, I am feeling a bit better. The right opening is sore, but that is normal.

I'm glad you both are doing so well

Pam not sure how well you are doing like feeling up to it or not but there is a meeting tomorrow night at 6pm at Sartori hospital. I am going for sure if you need anything please let me know. But don't do anything that's too taxing on you.

      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...
