I went to church today, asking God for forgiveness of all my wrong doings, not of last past weeks but of everything, even if he forgave me in the past. But this Sunday was different from other Sundays. It was and is my last Sunday of being a "Fat Chick" it was going to be the last time people come up to me saying "your gaining weight again," instead of minding their own business.. lol Calm down Christian girl lol... so i asked God to guide me, and if i was making the right decision, that he would be there will me guiding the surgeon and his crew, to bless their hands for success! that if anything, i want to be in his glory! Guys when i tell you God spoke to me! I felt his presence and tears just started running through my face, my hands were raised high, and i cried thank you lord, thank you lord because he had answered me!.. no one in the church knows about my surgery, not even the pastor.. I am calmer that i now know that God is always with me, and will be there in that room with me, with his angels around me.

So i am ready.. Today i went and bought two sleeping gowns for after surgery, and comfy sleepers.. and a make up bag lol..

My fridge is all pimped out with Protein Drinks, Isopure lol i hope it taste good.. with already mixed crystal light, more jello's lol.. still got some Protein Shakes from my pre op, about a week worth now that my belly will no longer be hugeee. i also have some Soups and other recommended items that i got from this forum Thank you all. got my gas x my Vitamins , i am pretty much set for 2 weeks, nah maybe 3 cuz i bought oat meal and cream of wheat.. for my 3 week phase.. so at 6:30 am i have to be at the hospital, right now i am preparing my with me bag, which my mom is going to bring after the surgery.. i am currenlty looking at my first goal jeans which i had for a year now,, size 8 lol lets see how long it will take em to fit.. yawn... sleepy.. let me get going wow two weeks past by so fast, just the other day i was readying someone else's blog about them having their surgery n me couldnt wait for my approval date lol n Gracias Senor !! Thank You Lord, my time is here!! good night folks see you on the losers bench!!

Congrats on your surgery tomorrow - another sleeve buddy with the same date! You should be in recover by the time I go into mine and that's a great thing because God is supposed to be in my operating room too! I hadn't thought to pray for no pain - thanks andkel30!! I certainly will start that discussion now! God bless and look forward to sharing our experiences on the board!!

:D

Whenever I had surgery in the past, I always cried in the pre-op room. I was such a bag of nerves. I was shocked the day of my WLS.......I was totally at peace. Not one tear. I was so calm. It almost seemed "out of body". It's that "peace that passes all understanding". You will do great tomorrow. My surgery was on a Monday, too. What a great way to start the week! Congrats! You'll do great.

I to, have given charge, of every step that this journey will take me on. You will be cradled in His arms, while His angels, caress your face for comfort. Amen

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
