Ok, I got a little bit more than four hours of sleep and I'm feeling pretty good.

I'm already at the surgery center and waiting for the nurse to start on me. Surprisingly I am calm.

The receptionist told me that they have had 16 year olds get banded! Seems crazy to me.

I hope your surgery went well. I found the muscle milk light chocolate was good as a Protein shake. It is already prepared in like a juice box. 22g of Protein.

Good Luck everyone, I am very scared.

I hope your surgery went well. With your pre-opt dieting you will do fine. Good luck!

My surgery is June 29 also. I live in Hawaii so you will all be done before I wake up. Having my last sips of clear chicken broth. Had Protein Shakes for prior 6 days. Before that I was on a high Protein, low fat eating plan for about 2 months to shrink my liver for surgery. I drink Spiru-tein shakes from our local health food store, they also carry them at GNC. I love them. I hate the chewable vitamins! Yuck. and I don't like the Isopure I have to drink today and the next 3 days. Horrid! I am nervous but not backing out. Been plotting this for the last year. Finally. Good luck ladies. I will be anxious to check in 'after'. Best wishes to all.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
