August Sleever,

I will be there with you. Just learned yesterday they had scheduled mine for Aug. 1st also. Busy reading up on everything to see what is needed. I didn't know it would be scheduled so soon. But am ready. Let our journey begin. I live in Louisiana. Lynn

Thanks! I plan to post my whole experience. I read these boards voraciously, constantly looking for new information and I want to share my story in the hopes that even one thing I say might help someone like everyone has helped me.

I read all the time too! This is where I decided to go with the sleeve instead of the bad. Didn't really want something foreign in my body to deal with all of the time anyway. I think this is going to change our lives forever! :D

How is the Pre-Op diet going for you? I start mine next Thursday and I think I have gained 5lbs since I found out my date because of that stupid thought that I won't ever be able to eat again.<_< I'm working on it though. :rolleyes:

I actually don't start mine until tomorrow. I know, most people are jealous but I have my surgery Monday and don't get to go home until Wednesday even though I live 7 minutes away. Lol. It's all a trade off. I've caught myself doing the food funerals too but now that I'm so close I honestly just want to get it done and for the first time I'm getting a glimpse at "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
