pre op was today, got some good news



Recommended Posts

I was so nervous last night about my pre op that I couldn't even sleep a wink. I don't know why I was nervous, everything is already approved, and I have lost all of my pre op weight requirement, but I still couldn't shut off the 'what if' voice in my head. The fear of not actually being able to get this surgery at the last minute and all the different reasons why kept running through my mind; instead of the cute little sheep I should have been counting.

Anyhow, my meeting at the doctors office went great and my doctor told me that I could add one egg and one stick of string cheese to my diet a day!! I'm so happy. I have been drinking just Protein Shakes for 9 days now and only cheated with sugar free fudge pops, which my doctor said was ok. (yes I told on myself) He was very pleased with my pre op weight loss as well.

I have the best knews about my deductable/copay for the surgery! I pay NOTHING!!! Can't believe its true but it is! woohoo! So now I'm down to six days and counting till surgery day. Can't wait to rock my sleeve...:D

That is awesome news all around. I would probably kiss my doctor's toes if he said I could have an egg and some cheese. I'm just wrapping up day 1 of 2 weeks of liquids.

Congrats to you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
