You are HYSTERICAL! You will do fine! My surgery is in May but I get the feeling!

April 26th for me too - I can hardly wait for it to be over!

I say "over" when it's just the beginning, but the months of jumping through hoops will be great to have as a thing of the past.

I didn't have to have a 6-month supervised diet, but it has been over 4 months since I went to the 1st seminar.

Now I keep thinking something will go wrong; that the doctors will start the surgery and then say...

"Sorry to inform you that we discovered an Alien incubating in your stomach - we had to cancel the procedure. Also, you owe us 60,000 because the feisty little sucker spit acid all over the stapler and then bit a nurse"...

Best of luck to you (and me)...

J

Can't believe its here already! I've been kind of in a weird state of surrealism, like it isn't really happening. Yet here I am on day 2 of pre-op liquids and tomorrow I head to California! Surreal.....

Good luck to the rest of April sleevers!

I just got sleeved on April 18th, it's been one week today. Pain has not been too bad at all, actually a little surprised on how well I've felt, was expecting much worse. I will say this, I am sick of Soup. I want to just taste something different even if its just a bite or two.

Good luck everybody

J.D.

Hang in there Stacy. You will start to feel better and I promise you will agree soon enough that this is the best thing you have ever done!

I had my Sleeve on April 14th and the weight is continuing to drop!

I should be going home today but now I'm scared to leave....i have two small kids who love their momma very much. I'm afraid they're gonna hurt me. But, if rather be home than here. I'm still on a pain pump so I don't know how that's gonna work when I go home.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
