Yay, for awhile there I thought I was the only one. My surgery got moved up to the 11th of may .... Only 3 days away. I have been on liquid since last Thursday and it is terrible.

Hey I also see Dr. Balil. I'm not scheduled as of yet, because I have to go through the 6th month insurance stuff. I am hoping to have my surgery in August or September. It seems like it is so far away. Did you all have to do the 6th month thing? Did you lose pre-op? What kind of pre op diet does he put you on?

I did not have to do the 6 months because I am self pay. My process has been since December but it would have been quicker but I had to schedule appointments around college. My pre-op has been a week as of today and I have lost 6pounds. The pre-op could be as long as 14 days depending on you size, because the reason for the liquid pre-op is to shrink your liver. My surgery is Friday and honestly it feels like I have been waiting for ever and this week of liquids has been the longest week of my life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
