14 Days to go until my surgery.

Starting weight 122.5kg

I've lost 10kg (22lbs) since I started the pre-op diet. The doctor wanted me to get down to 111kg so with 14 days to go, I think it will definitely be possible. 10 weeks ago, even losing a pound seemed impossible! I know the hard part is still to come with actually keeping it off, but I'm still proud of how far I've come! I haven't weighed this little since 2017!

I don't know if anyone has started a group for October 2024 Surgery buddies, but if anyone is also having surgery that month we can be buddies!

I'm looking forward to the surgery, but I'm also going back and forth between having doubts and anxiety about it to looking forward to it!

I am having bypass surgery on Tuesday, October 1 and this is my main concern. Even with my having lost 10lbs just on the liquid diet. I am starting the get more and more nervous in general. All I can say to both of us is WE'VE GOT THIS!

I saw in a previous post that you mentioned an October surgery group. I have looked for one but did not find one. Of course I just joined the forum so I have ZERO clue how to navigate!

I've just started an October 2024 Surgery Buddies group! 7th of October for me.

Thanks! We definitely have this! My doc put me on a 12 WEEK milk diet (milk with skimmed milk powder, a cup of broth for lunch and lots of water) It's been really tough and it's been ten weeks of taking it all in my stride, but as it gets closer, I'm starting to get nervous! The only surgery I've ever had has been an impacted wisdom tooth removal and this is major surgery! I'm at the point where I just want it all over with now to start the major weight loss, but I also want to delay it because of fear and one last Pizza Hut pig out.

But the end is in sight and I'm excited!

8 days to go and I've officially hit the Dr's pre-op goal of 111.1 kg. (OK technically, I'm at 111.3, but I'm counting it anyway). ? I've worked hard and I deserve to be petty about 200grams!
