I still don't have a date yet :( , but I did just finish my pre op testing, so I know it will be soon.

I have been getting ready by recording a lot of movies on tivo. I had my nails done and my hair trimmed. I figured I'd better do that now.

@ shelley...how long after pre op testing before you got your date. I went to the support group and pre op training class. Enjoyed both :)

Yeah I am nervous and excited. Got a little peed at the hospital yesterday. I decided till use my local hospital to do all my pre op testing. They took me to radiology first. So I asked them if them barium was gonna mess with me having my labs done and she tells me no because it is not absorbed and that it would go straight through me. So I go through with the test. Then I go to do my labs and they tell me I cant do them because of the barium I consumed. Boy was I mad. I had to go back this morning to do my labs.

Dina! You'll get a date on Mon! Did you do psych eval? Omg whoever didn't do your labs was wrong! I haven't done the support group yet. Maybe we can go together to the next one! I have my Pre op appt with dr on tues, then surgery on thurs. I almost cracked up on first few days of Pre op diet, but it's not so bad anymore. I'm ready to do this!

Yes I had my psych eval. All I need is my date sign consent and pre admit. I think that is all I need

I've cheated twice Pre-op diet... But no more (I hope!). I'm right where he wanted me to be on the day of surgery as far as weight. I am scared and continually think about the "what if's", but that's normal.... I guess :/

      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? 🤷‍♀️
