Awesome Renee !! I can only hope I am as excited as you. It feels like I will be at this point. I am at day 3 of a 14 day pre-op and down 9 lbs since Tuesday. 15 lbs total since October. Good Luck and be sure to let us all know how it went. :D

Doing great! I had NO pain until last night and even now it isn't bad. I have been taking the pain meds to prevent it, though (per my RN's recommendation). I did get a little light headed in the shower this morning, but that has been the worst of it. I am still telling MOST people that I had hernia repair surgery, but I may become more open about it as I progress.

BTW, I finally got a little bit nervous after the started the IV, but then they allowed my comic relief back with me (my daughter and her boyfriend) and that dissipated quickly.

Good luck to you all, no matter what leg of your journey you happen to be in.

Welcome to the other side :rolleyes: I wasn't nervous just excited to get it done and get through the weeks before my first fill. I like being on this side of surgery for sure!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
