I know you won't see this until after, but I'm right behind you. I have to be there at 8:30 Monday morning. Mom came in today and we're getting the last minute things done so we don't have to worry about anything from Monday on.

Ok, group, it's April and the countdown has begun!

Thanks for the tip Ceparano, but I'm not sure I can buy that here in Portugal, I'm going to look around and I need to find some kind of Protein Drinks as well, I'm going to stop by the health shop today to see what they have got and try out a few Protein Shakes before I actually need them.

Wow, can't believe some of us have left already for the big day, I can't wait to hear what Audra has to say, in some ways I am jealous that they are there already, but psyching myself up instead for 2 weeks time. I have to go and pick up my Liquid Protein drink today, not sure if starting it today or tomorrow as should have gone to appointment yesterday...whoops!:omg:

I was telling you all about my last suppers and have to admit now, even I am so fed up of take-out and carby meals.........even looking forward to some clean-eating.

Yes I am very nervous though about the op, trying not to think about it!:clap2:

I got to the hospital about 8:30 this morning and things went on from there. They drew blood for two more tests, brought me two medications, and then we waited. I ran to the bathroom about three times in the hour that I had to wait. In fact, they came for me while I was on my last trip.

We left that room and went to pre-op where they inserted my IV and FINALLY the happy meds. They then rolled me into the OR, I moved over to the table, they placed an oxygen mask over my face and the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery.

Morphine is a wonderful drug! I was in recovery from around 11:30 when they woke me up (could have been earlier) until around 1:15 when I went for the barium swallow to make sure that there were no leaks. Barium = YUCK! From there I went back the day surgery room where I finally got to drink something. About a shot glass of Water. Then I had 1oz of chicken broth, 1oz of apple juice, and 1oz cube of sugar free Jello. YUM!!!!!

They told me that as soon as I went to the bathroom I would be able to go home. Did that but then had a dose of Lortab pain elixer and since my wounds were oozing quite a bit, I didn't get to leave right away.

I finally got to leave about 5:15 pm because day surgery was closing for the day and if I didn't go home at that point I would have to go back to recovery. So mom packed me up and away we went.

Got home, made a few phone calls, had bit of Isopure Protein Drink, a bit of water, more pain meds, and now I'm ready to sleep again.

I'll check in again later.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
