I am hoping for September! My items are being submitted to insurance next week and they say 2-3 weeks to get approval from insurance which would likely put surgery in September. I am having surgery in Kansas City, MO!

H 5'5" HW 273, CW 256, GW 160




Any update?

Thank you!!



September 18th is my day!!! So excited. Start my two week preop diet tomorrow. Daily I get two Protein Shakes a day made with Water and two meals with 3-5 ounces of lean meat and 1/2 to 1 cup of veggies plus my 64 ounces of water.

The day before surgery of course I get just two bottles of Isopure and my 64 ounces of water.

I thought I would want to have a "food funeral" this weekend and I would go hog wild, but I really haven't. I had a payday and some some mac and cheese, but nothing sounds good so that's a good thing too.

The difference in preop diets is crazy! We have two week of two Protein Shakes made with Water (no premade shakes and must have 20 grams of Protein, less than 6 carbs and whey protein isolate or soy protein isolate must be the first ingredient) and then we get two meals a day consisting of 3-5 ounces of lean protein and 1/2 to 1 cup veggies (non starchy) plus 64 ounces water daily and of course our supplements. We can have sugar free Jello and popsicles if we want too. The day before surgery we have only two bottles of Isopure and 64 ounces of water. I have heard the requirements to shrink the liver have changed and no longer require all liquids for two weeks. I won't complain!

Whoohoo! The thread has gone international. Dunno about anything else but emotional support will be right here!

September 5th came and went and feeling good. No nausea, a little stiffness. Malaysian staff were fantastic and the clinic was high standard. Being discharged today and fly back to Indonesia on Monday. Fingers crossed.
Good luck to the rest of you in September.

Hey! Welcome to the other side. I'm glad all went well. My surgery got postponed to October so I technically don't belong here anymore but it's good to get news from others either way.
Way to go!! And have a safe trip back home.

      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!!
