Hello everyone! Well I have to think positive at this point and consider my liquid diet portion a dress rehearsal. My real liquid diet will start again in about 2 weeks. I have an unconfirmed surgical date of 9/16. Which will hopefully be confirmed on Monday. I have learned from experience that I will have to keep on the staff at my surgeons office. They have dropped the ball in the past.

When this is over I am going to have a chat with my surgeon about his office staff and their reflection on him. I have to hope that he is unaware of the way they are doing their jobs. All I can say is as nurse, this is no way to treat your patients.

Sorry for the rant I just had to get that off my chest. I vow to be positive from now on!! :D

Thats awful! Im a nurse also...... we tend to see things that others dont. I hope things turn around for you! You know what we say about the squeaky wheel :)

I have found that after everything I have seen so far, I am a lot calmer about surgery. I will be restarting my liquids on Aug. 30 to get ready for surgery. At least I am now prepared for it. I guess you could call my first run at this a try out! I am more sure of what I should do to meet requirements now!

Thanks SkinnyGalinFatPersonsBody, for noticing. Are you having surgery in Sept. also?

I am scheduled for 9/22. It seems like it took them forever to schedule. Ive been out of visits for 6 weeks now. Havent been doimg too well on my diet. I started partial liquid yest and then full liquid 2 weeks prior.

So why did they postpone your surgery?

My surgery was postponed because I was taking Advil and that's a no no! Due to the fact that it's a blood thinner. I start my liquids again on Aug. 30.

Like lolly I meet my surgeon on the first to get my date. My clinic only has a two day prep diet, so it can go pretty quickly. So excited to stop preparing and start doing. I'm down 34 from my first appointment in March, doing well I think. We'll see as I am spending the first week of September on vacation in Breckinridge with my hubby for our anniversary. Best of luck to you all, can't wait to see where we all are next September!

Oh, I live in a little town just outside Green Bay, wi.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
