I need some moral support! I got the call yesterday that I will have my surgery on march 9th, I start my Protein Shake diet tomorrow. I have a rush of emotions, and suddenly feel very nervous!

If it makes you feel any better I think we all have been through what your going through! You will go through every emotion from nerves, excitement, to maybe even questioning your decision! It's normal! If you have done your research and were confident enough to make the date, your ready! Just know your not the first to feel like this and we all have gotten through it, and you will to. We are here to help so don't be afraid to ask when you need it! Good luck!

You can do it!! We all did/will. I was super excited because I lost 18 pounds in the 3 week pre-op diet, my Dr. was very happy. I took that part very seriously, but also got out my final cravings a week before surgery! So I was content going in, I had a wonderful RN at the surgery center that was all my strength and she was so fun and friendly, it didnt seem like I was there for the reason I was.

Good Luck to all, take a deep breath and think forward a few months! God Bless :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
