It's natural to feel scared and want to back out. You know what's best for you. I'm starting to feel excited !!!

Agreed! This is major surgery, for a major issues that we've all been struggling with probably for our entire lives. It would be odd if you weren't apprehensive.

I began this progress 4 years ago and backed out after the first seminar. I wasn't ready then, I couldn't wrap my head around it. :blush:

I'm ready now. :)

I'm October 3rd too! Excited and scared and really trying to figure out how much time to take off work and what to tell my employer about it. Do i tell the truth? Just take vacation and not say a thing? Tell them some lie like I'm having my gall bladder removed? I'm really not sure what is best. What are you guys doing about that?

well i just put in my request for time off and told them i was having surgery and nothing more. now they've cut our overtime and thats how i was going to pay my 20% of the surgery! now im really worried about the money aspect. i wouldn't tell them its for weight loss they might consider it cosmetic and deny it ? i guess its really up to you and your boss what kind of relationship you guys have.

Don't lie using gallbladder unless you are actually getting it removed. That may come back to bite you! I would take sick time rather than vacation. If you were to have any complications at all - you may need more time off! Many employers require 30 days notice so I wouldn't wait.

Started my pre-surgery diet on Tuesday, down 14 lbs today. 800-1000 cal/day, 100g of Protein, 80g of carbs.

Once I got over the sugar headaches it hasn't been too bad. I get hungry, for sure, but without the sugar in play, it's not been that sicky-feeling kind of shaky hungry I used to get.

Surgery date, Oct. 5th.

      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.
