April 1st here. I'm on day 2 of liquid diet. No fun, I'm hungry, got horrible headache!!! I'm doing what I gotta do and telling myself to remember the bigger picture. I know it can only get better from here. I'm getting my lapband out and getting sleeve.

i'm going to Mexico because I didn't want to wait another 6 months for my insurance to approve a revision, and possibly deny me. So, I just said nope, I'm doing it asap and make me happy! That means I have to pay, but it's worth it! How about you?

How nervous are you? Mine comes and goes in waves. One minute I'm fine and excited, the next I'm just about sick and want to call it all off.

SweetSusy, I am nervous, but totally consumed trying to get thru this dang liquid diet now. I am nervous about it, mostly just because it's a revision surgery. I am ready to just get through it all and fast forward to at least pureed soft foods!!!!

I'm ready to see results, and I know I need this tool so I can't say I want to turn back, however I was sooooo very scared getting my lap band and often thought of turning back. I overcame it and did it...even tho it didn't work...I did it, so i'm braver this time around in some regards.

I never got to the so called "green zone" and consistently got fills, and overall I did eat less than pre-surgery, but never waay smaller portions. All I got was increased unbearable heart burn with more fills! I started getting de-fills in October, and then in December and at that apt decided to move forward with the sleeve. Later realizing I'd have to go thru another 6/7 mo process with insurance and what if after all that they deny me? Said not waiting or taking that chance cuz I can just go to Mexico and move on with my life and start seeing results now and be up and moving before summer!

      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!!
