Day 5 of liquid liver-shrinking pre-op diet, and so far so good! I have been taking more enjoyment out of watching my cooking/baking shows on TV though  Can't believe my surgery is soo close@ This process has been incredibly fast for me (went to free WLS seminar by surgeon July 29th), and can't believe my life will change for the even better so soon! 

Hello everyone it's been so long since I've been on this site I'm still eating healthy enjoy life loving me I'm down to 135 lbs now and for everyone that's just starting stay  motivated you can do it!! 

GOOD MORNING ALL I AM AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS NEW JOURNEY AND I AM EXCITED

WOOHOO Finally got psych clearance!!! Next week i dot my first NUT class and my support group... the first week of Nov I do my UGI, second NUT and final weight in at PCP then file insurance and wait... The good news about the wait is my patient advocate says my insurance is usually pretty quick about getting the approval back. 

SURGERY in 30 minutes ...... I'm currently in the hospital pre op and I'm just so excited the day is finally here ..... I'll keep everyone updated

TODAY I HIT 50lbs lost  I am super happy and excited to be at my 50lb loss at  6 weeks out  !!!!!

Surgery Scheduled for the 10th of October at Tulane Medical Center ...Nervous.... Starting Liquid diet tommorow

Six days post op I'm down 13 pounds which I'm excited about. My mom had been staying with me for the past 3 months to help me get to the weight that I needed to get the surgery and she had to leave the day after I came home from the hospital. I'm really close to my mom, she's like my best friend and I'm so lucky to have her. But her leaving has been really hard on me, I had separation anxiety with her as a child and I guess its never really been addressed because I still have it lol. I know this is only temporary but damn it sucks.

I just got the call that the lab results and EKG are back. Scheduled an appointment for tomorrow to discuss surgery dates with the nurse and verify all classes and steps have been completed. I'm hoping and praying that the day I've waited so long for will actually be a reality and I can say "I'll be starting to get my life back on XXXX date." I just have to bring my binder/test, post op vitamins and two weeks of food logs with me. Fingers crossed that something is set.

I am on day 2 with the Pre-op liquid diet I drank one premier protein drink 30 grams of protein it actually taste pretty good and one sugar free jello and some water I'm not as hungry as I was yesterday

Preop Medically supervised diet visit number 5 of 6... Done!! Yay 1 more to go till that part is done woohoo... also I am down another 5 lbs!!! 

It's my two-month RNY surge-versary and here's what's different:
-I'm down almost 80 lbs
-I actually have an appetite
-It's easier to eat--I don't approach it with dread and it doesn't take forever to eat 3 bites
-I feel normal: sometimes even almost forget that I have had surgery and have to remind myself to slow down and take smaller bites
-I can add all foods, slowly, and have only had an issue with green peas, so far.
-My energy level is almost normal
-I made it through the busiest and most physically exhausting time at work these past through weeks, and I was fine.
 

I fit into a size 12 ya'll. A SIZE 12!!!! OMG!!! Yes. I only lost 2.2 lbs but I dropped 2 dress sizes. I have to get a 14 in pants because my butt is big and the 12 wont go past my booty. 
This week is buffalo chicken for lunch and breakfast is turkey bacon and eggs. That is small bag of ranch (1 tbsp). 

Looking forward to the journey.  Surgery approximately March 2018.
