Hi Gloria my date is May 19th. I also have DM 2, not on insulin but I do take Metformin & Glubideride(?) . I'm getting excited & nervous because I know this is going to be a major lifestyle change. I know it's all for the better, so as long as I can hold onto that...I also am on meds for High cholesterol & hypertension. that is why I'm doing this to become healthy & happier! Talk with you again, I hope. ~smiles, Happy Destiny (aka Sheryl)

Hi Sheryl, :biggrin0:

I want to thank you for your response.

I am happy to hear your excited about your op. I am really looking forward to mine too, yet saying that I have found myself eating more than I usually do, dont know if thats the nerves kicking in. I am keen to have a life change,but it seems like its going to take a lot of determination.

So did you wait long to be accepted or was you accepted straight away? I got accepted over a year ago, but the process is soooo long. I had a previous date for October but there was some mix up with the date and not given the correct information....anyway that was then and this is now!!!

How are you coping?

Hi ladies,

I am having my surgery on May 18th in California. My emotions have been a roller coaster. I have very supportive friends and family and that certainly helps. I also started blogging to help me make it through the process. The last week has been really difficult, stress at work has me falling back on food to cope - very, very bad. The funny thing is that I know it's wrong, but I do it anyway - very frustrating. I have to keep my weight steady or the surgery will be cancelled if I gain. So now I have to lose the 5 lbs I original lost and then gained again :biggrin2:.

We will make it through this and the grass will be greener on the other side!

I'm am having to pay all out-of-pocket. The surgery is excluded on my insurance. My only hold up is work. I am waiting because they didn't have anyone to cover for me in April. I have high hopes that May 18th will be the Day! I want to start my pre-op diet early, because just as some of you have said...I've been emotionally eating (not anything new) knowing my surgery is coming up. My pre-op is 1200 calorie diet with Protein Drinks & 1 meal a day. I also want to get off the sugar before the surgery too! I hate those dt headaches.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
