Hi there tbarnes18...I actually had my surgery a mile across the border from Eagle Pass with Dr. Alvarez..him and his staff were great and keep me well medicated too...which was great. Glad to hear that you are on the losers bench now, how are you feeling? Are you still having head hunger? I was really bad the first couple of days and now it has tapered off...i do think that my tiny stomach "growled" this morning...I wonder is that normal if you are only on liquids? ?? Anyway, hope all is well...take it easy, gets easier every day!!!

June 30th Oklahoma City with Dr. Broussard. Nervous.

Today is my last day of being pre-op. Woke up and started to immediately feel nervous, excited, anxious (and hungry, of course!)

My surgeon only requires me to do a pre-op diet today, which means I get to have some eggs for Breakfast and then nothing but clears until midnight -- after that, nothing to eat or drink until they start giving me ice chips at the hospital Monday evening. Makes me feel sooo thirsty just thinking about it -- good thing I'm going to be doing nothing but hydrating today, I guess! :scared0:

My surgery also got bumped from 7:30 to 10:30 for some reason. Only 25 hours away!

At least I have plenty to keep me busy. I'm still battling that rash that showed up out of nowhere. I also need to go ahead and pack my hospital bag. I might do some last-minute chores around the house so I can come home to a tidy house. Busy busy busy!!! :-o

I hope all the post-op June people are doing well, I'll be joining you soon! Keep up the good work and positive attitudes June pre-op folks, we're almost there!

Hi

I had mine on the 8th of june! How are you? I am doing okay this week. I am such a baby at surgery. Whinned and drove my sister nuts the first 3 days after. I have sorness at the large incision site and still cannot play and hug my kids like I used to. I am down 20lbs. I started at 198. I am really hungry though. Can't wait for next week. I hurts in my chest when I swallow to big. I had my doctor's appt. he said all is well and allowed me the drink the Protein Shakes now but still hungry! Everyone says that they are not hungry. Are you? Well hope you are doing well.

I spent all of yesterday very hungry. No matter what I ate or drank, it was not enough. Today it is much better. I remember reading someone who posted saying that it took several weeks for the remaining ghrelin to leave our systems and the hungry feeling to go away.

      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.
