11:10am so they're running behind. So I'm just laying here waiting. Received another needle this time in my thigh for medicine to prevent blood clots.

Now I have something running through iv. Once bag finishes they'll take me to bathroom to empty bladder.

It's 12:10pm and I'm still waiting. The iv is being run through vein in the bend in my left arm so I have to keep it straight. Of course I keep forgetting and end up bending it.

I've gone to the bathroom once and they gave me another bag of fluids to do.

Mom is here. She posted a pic of me in hospital telling everyone I'm having surgery on fb. Once again confirmation not to tell anyone. Sigh.

Well the nurse checked and apparently there's an emergency surgery going on since this morning in the room I'm assigned. Normally they would find another room for me but the surgeon performing the emergency surgery is my doctor.

Nurse said I should be going in around 1:30

Just saw dr. Signed consent for blood if necessary. They're prepping the room now. Will see anesthesiologist next.

Ok I'm going in and out of consciousness. Even started falling asleep writing this. I feel surgery went good. Nurse said u can hardly see my cuts already. Minimal pain. No nauseous yet. Still gotta get up and walk but I'm so tired. They got the bottom half of my legs wrapped in this cloth that fills up and released automatically. It's to prevent blood clots. I believe.

So sleepy. It's 6:05pm

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
