My surgery is scheduled for 7:30 AM tomorrow morning. Really scared, wondering if I'm making a huge mistake!! Received lots of good wishes at work today (which helped a little) and my family is super supportive. I want to say thanks to all the VST members and their support over the last few weeks too -- answering my posts have calmed my nerves too. See you all on the "loser side".

You have to own it girl. If you are doing this for your health than you have to cheer out and say I'm doing this to help my quality of life. Own It!!! You just have to close your eyes and step into the unkown, and let me tell you when you do that it will completely change your life for ever. I do have one regret, and that is not having it done sooner..I love my sleeve!!!! I would do it 100 times over.. YOu will have a rocky start but once you get past all of that you will shine like a star. So When you have surgery sip as much Water as possible and walk walk walk.. The more you walk and drink the quicker you will heal..

Great! I hope it comes and goes and you get back on here to encourage the likes of ME! Mine is April 8th. I cannot tell you how excited I am for you! I'm nervous, too, but we wouldn't be normal if we weren't. And look at what hoops we've gone through to get to this point. I'm very proud of all of us! go, go, go and sip and walk and sip and walk. It will be over and done with and you can sleep and sleep and sip and dream of those smaller sizes to come! Best to you----

Saying a little prayer that everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow. Just remember to sip constantly and walk as soon as they let you get up. Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk.

Best of luck ... the first few days could be a breeze or "what have I done". Just remember that it will pass & you will be a LOSER in no time. Keep us posted on your progress.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
