My surgery is tomorrow (3rd) .... finally!

Feeling a little tense, my body is kinda sore for no reason (stress??), but I am ready for a change!

My sister and I decided to start our jorney together, so we are both having our surgery tomorrow, same hospital, same doctor...

she is going first at 8:30 and then it'll be my turn at 10:30.

Hope everything goes well, pray for us!

Starting weight: 260

Goal: 150

Yayyyyy! You will do great! Positive attitudes go a long way. It will also be great to have a buddy who is going through the same thing you are going through. Best wishes!

How cool that you get to do this with your sister! I'm having my surgery on Jan 11th and I wish my sister could get it done too. My insurance pays for weight loss surgery but hers doesn't. She would have it done in a heart beat if it did. My hope is that everything goes great with my surgery, recovery and weight loss so she will make the decision to have it done regarless of the cost. She's been thinking about getting a new car even though the one she has is fine. I told her that she should keep her car and take out a personal loan and get the surgery done. Good Luck to both you and your sister. Keep us all posted on your recovery and weight loss!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
