OCTOBER 17TH SURGERY CHECK IN HERE

Woohoo, finally got my surgery date....October 17th!!! Who's my surgery twin? Let's share and keep checking in pre-op and post-op. I'm 5'8" and was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago when I realized everything I tried to do to lose weight failed. I started my journey in April of this year and I've completed my 6 month requirements on September 6th. My surgeon (Dr. Merola) submitted my paperwork to the insurance (Emblem Health HIP NY) yesterday. Just waiting on my approval.

HW: 317

CW: 315

GW: 1st- 250, 2nd- 200, 3rd- 170

I have been following it well for last 5 days. Today I had two shakes and caved to eat a normal dinner:(. I think because I haven’t eaten real food in several days, the real food made my stomach upset. Back at the liquid diet until surgery.
