Ok, I know you see this all the time but please someone talk me down from my ledge. I've really been great and calm all day. Now I'm going through all the scary feelings. Please, please, send prayers and positive thoughts my way. I promise to update when I'm out of surgery.

You will do great! I had the same feelings - cried when I checked in at admissions for goodness sakes! Your nerves are to be expected. Grab ahold of them and go for it. You will be so happy when your new life begins. Best to you and can't wait to hear from you once you are home!

You do not need to be on the ledge sister! Sleeve world is great!:D Not a walk in the park the first few weeks but each day gets better and better. It is so nice to unchained from hungry,hungry, tummy. I like my tiny tummy. I can manage it!:lol: I feel like I did when I was in my 20's on the hunger scale. It's been soooo long I had forgotten.:huh: So even though it is very normal to have some anxiety right

before surgery it will all work out for the best. You are making the right decision for your health! Good luck and wishing you a smooth

and safe surgery and recovery!;)

Hey Debbie! Funny I find myself reading your post right around the "in 9 hours" mark too! I have to be there at 9am and here I am awake! Not too worried here, have had so many surgeries before, then I start thinking I SHOULD be worried! UGH!! Ready for it to be done! See you on the losers bench!

Thank you so much everyone for your warm replies. Been out of surgery around 4 hours. Doc said it all went well but pain is unbelievable. Walked twice around the nurses station so far. Throat hurts. You guys are AWESOME. I love you all much :)

      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.
