Just got my surgery date confirmed. May 3. I'm excited.

I have to eat the pre-op diet of my center's foods for 3 weeks. There are soups, protein bars, drinks, oatmeals- so I'll have some choices. THREE WEEKS. ugh. Darn you, BMI. [emoji12]

Congrats!

I’m new on this site, my last nutrition class is on Monday. So I will get a surgery date soon!

How big is your BMI? Mine is 46+ should I start cursing now to avoid a last- minute rush?[emoji51]

At Christmas I had reached 41.6 BMI but right now I’m 37.8. I have been stuck at this for 3weeks, when I start their diet I hope it will drop further.

I'm @ 40. I saved up my cursing until I knew exactly how long I would have to do their diet. Then, I let it all loose. Afterwards I looked at every vgs post on Instagram and knew the 3 weeks was going to be more than worth it.
~note to self: keep doing exactly this every time I want to complain or cheat during my pre-op.

Ah babe--- You are going to land heads up and a smile on your face. A little pre- purgatory in advance, hell week afterwards, a few aches, a few pains as your body realigns. And then you dance in the sunlight[emoji93] chase rainbows[emoji304] and achieve all those things you've been dreaming about. And won't that be cool?[emoji14]

And best of all it is my hope and prayer to join you in the sunlight of good health[emoji14]

I'm on week 3 post op I was doing pretty good up until this point for some reason this week has been challenging somewhat of a depressing week..I'll be glad when things get better for me as well

I've read that this is where a lot of people get a stall. So depressed, stall, it all sounds like week 3 is your body's rebound week. Better weeks ahead. [emoji4]
