Haven't posted in a while, hopefully I'll start getting better at that soon. A couple of updates on upcoming dates for me.
In a week and a half, I'm having weight loss surgery. I'm super excited, my doctor and his staff are amazing. I will be getting the sleeve gastrectomy; which means they will be cutting out a portion of my stomach, making it impossible for me to eat as much as I have been. I started my pre-surgical diet on 1/1 and lost 25 pounds up until this past Monday. Monday I began a liquid only diet for 2 weeks before surgery, all of my meals consist of protein shakes and water right now, it sucks but I'm getting used to it. Down 10 pounds in the last 5 days alone (35 in total) and most reports estimate about a 25 pound loss during the liquid only diet.
Now for the transition updates... As per my weight-loss surgeon, I'm allowed to start taking supplements and hormones starting 2 weeks after surgery. From my previous visit with the endocrinologist, I know that she will be prepared to start me on hormones at the time of my next visit, so I decided to make my appointment for my birthday... April 26. So barring any issue with my insurance, or inventory problems at my local pharmacy, I should be starting hormones in just 6 weeks.
I will try to start being more active on here and keep updates on my journey. I am so ridiculously excited for what the next 2 months has in store.
