I should have my date as of my visit with the surgeon on 4/25. My case was to go to the surgical committee this month for approval (I'm self pay). I was 4 pounds from goal during my 3/22 visit.

I am hoping for a mid- to late May date.

Fingers crossed! My insurance company (GEHA) took a month to approve me. But my sister-in-law only took 2 weeks (Aetna).

Desert Girl good luck getting into,the liquid diet groove, there are many on here who say it's one of the hardest parts to the whole process. I take that to mean---if you can do this, you can do anything. I always read all the postings about it, figure the more I read the better I'll handle,it when it's my time.🍶☕. Maybe next month, that's what I'm hoping for 😛

Thanks! I've done very well. Day 1 was fine. 2 was hard. 3 was better. 4 was brutal. Everything got easy for me on day 9 when the hunger pain went away. Of course, I'm hungry. But not like before and I don't feel the pain of it. I'm now on day 13 of 14. So close!!

Surgery was yesterday at 8:30 a.m. Fixed my hernia as well. I was up and walking and going pee by 6 last night. Feeling really good today. The nurses are wonderful. Getting discharged now. Should be leaving in an hour or so. I totally understand why it is so hard to from 1 ounce every 15 minutes. That's a challenge. But I can do it!

      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!!
