Day 38 (55lbs lost) - It's been a bit over a month, and I've lost 55 lbs.  Clothes have been too baggy, and I've had to buy new clothes. I've also been able to fit into old clothes that I outgrew over t...

23 days post-op (42 lbs lost) - I had my post-op appointment with the surgeon today.  42 lbs lost. That is from my pre-op visit, which was actually 5 weeks ago.  I'm feeling really good about that number.  I aske...

Evening before surgery -  So my surgery is tomorrow - I'm feeling great, a little anxious though.  I wish I could just fastforward through the following few days. I'm sure it'll be quite an adventure. Hope...

1st day of 2-week pre-op diet -  Just finished first day of my 14 day pre-op diet.  Wasn't terrible, but wasn't easy at all. I've been daydreaming of all sorts of amazing food I wish I had gotten in before the di...

Completed Pre-Op eval -  Just a hair over 2 weeks to go.  I completed my pre-op evaluation, met with anesthesia, and met with my surgeon for a couple of minutes.  Also met with my surgeon's nursing staff....

Getting closer - So I'm 3.5 weeks until surgery.  Just typing that was both excting and scary.  I haven't been able to lose the pre-op weight I had been hoping to, but hoping to lose at least a lit...

Just short of two months until surgery -  I'm just short of 2 months until surgery. I could not ask for a more supportive wife, or more supportive parents.  And I know my 11 month old daughter is supportive in her own way...

Had pre-op nutrition appointment - Had my first pre-op nutrition appointment today.  Getting anxious but I know that I need to do this.  Still gaining weight, even though I'm trying to lose.  I kind of have 3 good d...

Set a date -  Met with a new surgeon at another hospital.  Decided to go with this other hospital given its reputation and the experience of the doctor.  For a number of reasons, I am not able ...

Gaining weight in anticipation of surgery - In my head I am excited about the prospect of scheduling an upcoming surgery (most likely the gastric bypass RNY).  I am noticing I am eating a lot lot more - sort of like a 'last ...
