Thank you all soooo much! I know it's weird to say but i am happy I'm not alone and it is comforting to know people feel the same way I do.

My surgery is tomorrow morning at 10am. I am nervous, scared, excited, anxious all the while, knowing this is going to be a good thing.

Part of me is dissapointed in myself that I wasn't strong enough to do this on my own, almost as if I let myself down. Why couldn't I have the will power, it doesnt make me the proudest to say I have had WL surgery but it is what it is and I know I am going to feel better and look better. I have held on to this weight for so many years, it's like breaking up with someone. I am so excited to get my self confidence back which in return will help me be a better wife and a better mom. Overall I know it will make me happy.

Hopefully a good night sleep and a easy surgery is ahead of me :sad: Be thinking about me tomorrow.

Steph

Steph....you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow....good luck and I hope all goes well.

My date is scheduled for 3/18 and I'm sure I'll be up all night the night before full of nerves, which I think is normal. I hope you get a good night sleep and be ready for what tomorrow will bring.

Hey Luvinlife, I am a February newbie. My surgery date is scheduled for April 22, 2010 and I am freaking out. I have most of my requirements met but I also am not doing so great on my pre opp diet. I am supposed to lose 10% of my total body weight and have only lost a pound so far. I have 5 weeks left. I am so nervous to go under. My doctor has a 0% death rate so that makes me a little more confident but I just have a million what if's running through my head. I have a husband a 7 year old and a 2 year old so, I am right there with you. Do you have a surgery date yet?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
