On the 11th I go from 1' date='300 cal to 1,000 cal per day. Still managing to squeeze in my favorites but in smaller amounts. I've really slacked on my Water, no good! I just ordered Isopure Zero Carb unflavored, it mixes clear so I can have it in my "clear liquids" phase. Also got some Celebrate chewable Vitamins, mandarin orange, yum. Doing all this on a budget isn't easy but worth it, requires a lot of comparison shopping. The EKG is a breeze but the Endoscopy was unpleasant. Best wishes to you & thanks for the reply.[/quote']

Hey

Budget is my middle name. I had to save my out of pocket cost ...not covered by insurance. Now that I have that out the way... I can start trying 2 find chewable vitamins and other stuff I need. I hope 2 find coupons and deals. We are still in a recession. I'm trying 2 save every dime.

I read all the posts about people's surgery being moved to an earlier time in the day. Since I was scheduled for 2:30 pm, I sure was hoping that would happen to me. So I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw the hospital's number on my caller id an hour ago. Now I'm scheduled for an 6:00am arrival and an 8:00am surgery!!!! I immediately called my ride and she didn't even blink. Now THAT'S a friend to pick you up at 4:45am and drive you an hour to the hospital. I don't think this day can get any better. Decatur, TX losers, I'll be sitting on the bench waiting for you. We're going to have a great time B)

The key to finding the best deals is research and comparing products. As to any other supplements I meet with the nurse and doctor on the 13th: I have a list of questions. Things have really added up, I've cut into my savings more than I thought I would. I've heard amazing stories from those who are post-op. In the end it will all be worth it!

This will also be my second surgery this year. I had to have my tonsills and adenoids out as part of the protocol for me. Then still had to go on a Cpap. I woke up to the sergeon telling my daughter the pain I was going to be in was at a 9 he lied. It was a 15. Lol. Good luck and think happy thoughts.

I had to change my Surgery date and surgen due to schedule conflict. New date June 20th and new surgen Dr. Garcia. I had to change surgens because the soonest Dr. Almanza could get me in was in July and I couldn't wait that long. I am still happy it is happening less the 2 weeks away. Hurray!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
