Congrats you look amazing!

Hello! I've been lurking in this app for a few weeks before joining tonight and I think it's great everyone is so supportive! I have been going back and forth for years with this surgery and finally jumped in with both feet. I am scheduled for September 13th!! So far the pre-op diet has been tough to stick to, but I'm doing okay. I look forward to seeing everyone have success and just wanted to say HI!! ~Kensington

Thanks all! I am ecstatic! My pre op diet is actually pretty good, not liquid like many diets I've heard, but healthy like salad, tuna, eggs, yogurt etc. the hard part is my hubby! He just doesnt get it, (or doesn't want to get it) I think it's just frustrating when someone continually throws your favorites foods in your face when its down to the grind like this. He's hurt that I have to say no to stuff like pizza and fettuccini Alfredo. Just last night, he asked me, "so when does your band come off and you can eat again?" i looked at him and was like what are you talking about!?!? I then realized he was very uneducated about the whole process so I had to explain again what was going on and what surgery I was having (the rny). has anyone else experienced this with their loved ones? I feel like he's so disconnected with the whole thing and he's gone to almost all of my appointments with me!! On a lighter note, I am Counting down the days!! My weight ballooned up to 295 (my heaviest) and I'm only at 285 right now. My goal is a size 12 whatever weight that will be. Maybe even a single digit, but a 12 is my goal for now. When I was active duty coast guard that's where I seemed to be my slimmest/strongest...I did rescue swimming so I used to be very fit and strong! I just hope I can ward off the saggy skin as lose, we shall see. Good luck to everyone else as well!!!
