Hey You Guys !! So glad to see someonelse is going to go thru the same thing on the same day !! I guess it's true, misery does love company! My Dr. makes his people lose 10 lbs. before he will do surgery and I'm down 5 lbs, and we have to keep it off until our surgery date. The 1st 3 days were AWFUL! The headaches , being hungry, and couldn't sleep but doing better now!

Thanks on the congrats, Crimson! I'm super happy about it too. I had my pre-op classes today from 8-12 and then met with my surgeon for my final appt before surgery. It all seems SO real now!

WOW! Only 10 lbs!? That would've been nice...I would've had surgery a couple months ago if that was my situation. Kaiser has us lost 10% so I had to lose about 30 lbs and am now down to about 37 and am feeling SO much better already, I can't imagine what another 80-90 down will feel like. :w00t:

Swishbc,

I read in a post once about people being upset about loosing an average of 1 pound a week.They said to take 1 pound of fat and put it in a skillet and melt it and thats what a pound of fat looks like. Just imagine if we take that 100 pounds we've lost and melted it what that would look like. It's gonna take some time but it is gonna be so worth it. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your journey.

My pre-op is only 3% of weight - in my case 4-5kgish - apparently the main thing is the liver shrinkage as they have to lift it during the operation. I wonder if a lot of these long term and big weight loss pre-ops are because of trying to qualify for Insurance?

I don't know if it the insurance or not but your right about the shrinkage of the liver. Anyway 3 more wks to go! I've been in this process since Aug.08 and now it's finally coming to an end!! HURRAY!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
