Im having my surgery on 4/23. So I assumed everything was done and dandy.

I get a call the OR booked the wrong person for the surgery..took allday to get that sorted out. I then get another call saying I had to see the hospital dietitian before surgery. Of course there were no appointments available till mid may so I had to bed myself in and got an appointment at 9:30am the day before surgery.

Then comes another call saying I wasn't tested for h.pylori with my endoscopy so I had to rush and get a breath test for it.

I get everything together and im finally getting a sense that im done and then my brother comes home with a horrible cold which im bound to get. I haven't eaten food in 4 days (liquid pre op diet ) and Im at my wits end..

did anyone else have this hard of a time less then a week before surgery?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
