Almost there

Posted by liver2007 @liver2007, Sep 27, 2022

Well it’s a rainy Tuesday as I make my to Jacksonville with a hurricane behind me. Tomorrow is my pre op day for my gastric bypass which is scheduled for Thursday. It’s finally here. That was a long 3 weeks of a liquid diet. All liquids all the time, but I did it. With a little weight I lost before I’m down 30 pounds. I feel a difference. I was never hungry nor did I have any problems.

I’m excited, happy, and a little concerned. But I keep thinking it may get worse for a bit, but then there’s going to be a new me. I’ve been carrying this old, tired , worn out me for decades. It’s a shame. There’s little photo evidence of my existence with my children and grandchildren, so many things I couldn’t do. I was embarrassed and never comfortable. No more. For whatever time I have left
I will be out there playing, enjoying myself, and family. I can’t wait!!!!!

Hi @liver2007 I can feel your excitement! I’ve not had the procedure done myself but I’m friends with 2 people who have and it had such a positive impact on their lives with feeling so much more energetic and healthy.

Let’s make this the year of getting you back in those family photos with some new adventures and making memories with your grandkids! You’ve worked hard to get this far, so best wishes for continued success on your journey to better health and weight loss! 🙃

You will let us know how everything goes, right?
