Well my surgery is in 8 more days and I am ready!! The only thing that I worry about is getting menstrual period on the day of the surgery or after because I always have horrible cramps but I am ready!!! I have eaten nothing but liquids and look at junk food as a thing of the past!! I am so focused right now its disgusting!! My sister asked me if I am going to be a Mess with all the weight off and I said No I am going to Be Blessed once the weight is off and there is a difference!! My life as I know it is going to start and loving me will continue to grow!!! I will no longer hurt :ph34r: myself to the worlds way of eating!!! :wub:

I wouldn't worry about the menstrual cramps because the post op pain medication should help with the cramps.

Don't worry about your cycle. Anesthesia always brings mine on, even if it isn't time. With everything that will be happening to your abdomen area, cramps won't even be noticed. And the good pain meds will knock them out.

Good luck with you journey!

Why would you be a mess? You're going to be fabulous! And as mentioned, if you do get your period, your lovely pain meds will certainly help you with those cramps! Good luck!

Don't worry about your period, that's not where they are doing the surgery. I was just finishing mine. Did not affect anything. Just remember the first few weeks concentrate on healing not so much on weight loss. Follow the liquids to soft stage to a tee. Good luck!!!!

Trust me, the wonderful drugs they give you will erase all of your cramps. LOL! I had surgery a few weeks ago. There are rough days but overall totally worth it for the outcome. I'm sure you will do great.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
