Recommended Posts

I cannot believe I'm so close after over 12 months of research and waiting for my insurance to mature I'm finally at the last leg of this race.

3 weeks today (Monday in Australia)

I've been through so much mentally recently and I'm proud of how far I've come.

I decided to start my own diet 6 weeks ago and I'm down now 46lbs.

I'm so excited to start the next leg of my journey and begin the next chapter of my life.

I'm looking at 80-90lbs to get below the 200lbs goal and hopefully end up around 185-195!!

Thank you all for your support and kind words.

(I've already had to buy some new clothes and feeling a little more confident every week)

My surgery is the same day! I'm having the sleeve gastrectomy. I'm nervous and excited as well! Apprehensive about starting the pre-op diet on Monday. 4 Optifast shakes a day with unlimited sugar free Jello, popsicles, broth, no-calorie sports drinks, Water. In moderation right now, I've indulged myself to have some things I know I won't be able to eat much of in the future. Had a few Stella Artois beers the other day, had my last Diet Pepsi, and some fast food-but just half of what I'd normally would order. I weigh myself every other day to be sure I'm still on track. I have lost 16lbs since I began the program in May. I know on the pre-op diet I'll drop even more.

Best of luck to us, Mikeyy! We can do this!!

      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!

      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!!
