Surgery date February 19th! OMG! Happy and scared



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am nervous,excited,scared, optimistic,hopeful and everything in between.Two Georgia natives whom i communicate with were sleeved on the Feb.12th and i missed that boat.They had a good experience and said i'll be in good hands.I so badly want to be slimmer.i've been reading all the sucesss stories and i want to be successful.One of my biggest fears is ongoing nausea and vomitting that some sleevers experience.I have been praying and asking God to give me a sign if i shouldnt proceed, and everything has been smooth sailing.I'm so looking forward to being able to have a steady weight at some point, and not gaining weight weekly with every bite of food.Thanks to everyone on the board for all your inspiring stories and motivation and mostly your support.

MellaElla, we're all scooting over for on the loser's bench. It really is a wonderful place to be, and living life for the first time.

I'll be keeping you in my prayers and thoughts for an uneventful surgery, and smooth recovery. If you need anything, we're here for you. Stay strong, and lean on us and your faith.

What she said! You'll be fine, and if there is nausea, they've got stuff for that. Four more days for you, how exciting!

Congrats on your up coming surgery. I had mine three weeks ago today

and did not have any problems other than the day after surgery. They gave

me meds so I never got sick just felt like I was going to a couple of times.

Keys Pirate had hers the same day and she did have some problems with

sickness due to the meds used during surgery. If you are worried I would ask

your Doctor ahead of time to give you the preventive meds to ease your mind.

I hope everything goes great for you, I know you will love being on the loser's

bench. My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Friday.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
