Cleaning out my Cupboards



Recommended Posts

So this is a little about me......I am a 50 year old female who is 5'8" and currently weighing in at 296. I have had issues with my weight as long as I can remember. My surgery will be Tuesday October 14th. The call came today that everything has been finalized. When starting this process I wasn't sure that I would go through with it. Meeting with the doctor and educating myself on the procedure has helped me make my decision. Along with reading encouraging and succsess related posts from the weight loss community.

In preperation I have been cleaning and organizing. Did a deep dive into the pantry and got rid of everything on the "no" list. Cleaned the fridge and freezer as well and feel like I am set up for success. Fortunately for me my husband will adapt to my new and healthier lifestyle. He has done it about 20 times in the last 20 years so it is not something new for him. The success that I anticipate will be a new experience however.

My prep diet has been going well. Breakfast and lunch are Protein Shakes with dinner being a healthy meal of lowfat Protein and veggies. Monday will be my day for only Clear Liquids.< /p>

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
