I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am a new member and am on day seven of my ten day liquid diet. My doctor allows no solid food what so ever, so I am a bit of a grumpy bear but I know it will all be worth it. I am scheduled to be sleeved on the 31st and I have never been so scared and excited at the same time. I imagine everyone feels this way. I look forward to being an active member on here, and wish everyone the best.

I'll be joining the two of you...I'm being sleeved on Halloween too. I guess one of the advantages is, I don't have to buy all that candy for the neighborhood kids (that I normally end up eating a lot of anyway). I'm now 10 days into a 14 day 'liquids only' pre-op diet. And strangely enough, my hunger is already all but gone. And even more strange, I've somehow started to REALLY like my vanilla Protein Shakes. That may not be the case post-op but for now, it's working out pretty well. I wish you both the best of luck on our Halloween 'date' ;)

I just noticed this post today but I wanted to wish you halloween sleevers good luck.

Thanks Felicia. Surgery went off without a hitch yesterday and I just got home about an hour ago. I was feeling some nausea while in the hospital but since I got home, the nausea seems to have subsided. I've yet to have the need to take any pain meds, even while in the hospital. I hope all the other Halloween sleevers' procedures went through as easy as mine. It all seems a bit surreal now....my life's new chapter has officially begun!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
