Hello again everyone!

So here is an update. Just finished my pre-testing. 1 WEEK TO GO!!!

I am down to 146 kg which is ~322 lbs. From ~350 lbs the week before, day 1 of the pre-bariatric diet.

Thank you for the support and my griping about the diet and concerns. I do not know if I hit ketosis... I did sneak an american cheese slice and rotisserie chicken yesterday...but otherwise 4 shakes and cabbage Soup x2 with some ice and sugar free Jello.

I guess because I used to drink soda and juices and eat a ton of carbs, this is working.

I am still having some bumps with my medications that different doctors do not want to advocate for to get them to write the prescription (lovanox), but that is just a bump... and I may freak out by Wednesday if not resolved.

Surgery so far still on for the 6th...

That’s awesome! 28lbs in a week! I haven’t lost half of that. I think I’ve lost 11-12lbs. 4 days till surgery

I am a newbie as well. Surgery date is August 2nd! One more day of liquid diet (14 days total) and the highly anticipated bowel prep! Lol

I look forward to reading how y'all are doing and posting some stats on my end.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
