Hi everyone! I'm Emily from SC. This is my first post. Your stories are really helpful, so keep them coming. I'm patiently waiting for 6 am to come. Any last minute advice? Nerves are good, so far. What last minute questions did/would you have?

Thoughts & prayers for a quick recovery and great success!

No last minute questions, hopefully they have all already been answered.

You might want to take Chapstick with you. After surgery your lips are unbelievably dry.

Just keep your thoughts on the prize and refuse to think what if's.

You'll do great!

Keep us posted

Congrats! Is your surgery outpatient? For me, the time went by fast and I was back home in my bed. Think positively! Have some sf popsicles ready for tomorrow night. My throat was very scratchy and a bit painful for a few days. The popsicles were wonderful! chicken broth was great, too. Do you have a heating pad? That helped a lot! We'll be looking for your next post with an update! Remember to drink Water and get your rest!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
