Pre-op update

3 weeks until I meet the surgeon and get a date for surgery. I'm kind of excited, and hoping the wait isn't too bad.  Some people were getting March dates last month, but then were rescheduled to December.  I want to be done with surgery and ready to drive to South Carolina for Easter - it's a 14 hour drive so I really am hoping to have surgery by February at the very latest.

In other news, our Christmas (Holiday) Party is coming up in 2 weeks and a friend of mine gave me a dress to wear as I don't want to buy one.  It's a little snug but I love the dress and I'm determined to wear it.  So I started on a Keto/ intermittent fasting diet this week, and I've lost 9.6 lbs.  I still have 2 weeks to go and already the dress is fitting better.  The surgeon date is the following Friday, and the weight loss will certainly help with that appointment.

I'm glad the suregery date is getting closer. It feels like such a long time but there are many more that wait longer.

That's great! I love the colour on you! 

I know the time can feel long, but surgery day really will sneak up fast! The more work you put into it now, the better the transition will be. I kind of see the pre-op time as part of the whole process. It doesn't begin with the surgery, that's just the next step.

youre doing great, keep it up!

Thank you!  I really have to work on not drinking with my meals. That's a tough one for me as I tend to do it without thinking.

I always drank when I ate, I don't have any drinks anywhere near me now when I eat, or I would just drink whenever.

That is great that you are working on losing before surgery. There a some people that I know that lost and are doing really well. Awesome about the dress.
