Nov 2nd for me! I'm in week 2 of pre op. I have lost 14 lbs from pre op and can't wait till Friday. It's been hard but I have an awesome support system.

That is awesome!!! You only have 4 days left!!! :)

Finally a date!!! November 8th! Started the process the end of August, had all my insurance requirements met by October 5th. Meet with doctor on October 10th, then he was out of town for two weeks, longest two weeks ever! But today the office called and scheduled me.

I have cleared all the hurdles, going for pre op stuff tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Nov 8. REally excited. My doctor just told us to follow a diet that worked for you, nothing special. I am nervous and so excited.....

2 more days!!!! Friday is my band day. I can't wait. I'm down 15lbs from pre op diet. It's been a bit of a struggle but I'm already starting to feel better. Keep up the good work everyone!

I drink 2 Bariatric Advantage meal supplement shakes a day plus Jello, broth and all no calorie sugar free drinks and 1 small meal in the evening. It was a little hard, by the 3rd day I was struggling but got through it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
