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.

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 chase rainbows and achieve all those things you've been dreaming about. And won't that be cool?

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

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]
