This particular thread was a lifesaver last night. I was on day 3 of Clear Liquids and when I went to bed last night, I started feeling puny, sweaty, shaky, my stomach was in knots... I thought I was starving to death. All I wanted was a piece of bread! I just knew it was going to calm down my stomach. Well, I read this support group page instead and all of you veterans were posting positive things to people who felt like me saying that it was a sort of withdraw and to hang in there. Well I listened, didn't eat the bread, and had the worst nights sleep ever. BUT, I woke up this morning, felt 100% better and proud that I didn't give in to the old me! I'm on my way friends and I am proud that I stared my demons straight in the eye! I'm ready to rock this surgery tomorrow! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!

Down 22 so far and isn't a full week. I think I really want to do the weight loss. Saggy sink isn't anything I am into!

New mini, if I can do this you can. Ay 61 I finally decided enough. I am in really good health and want to stay that way as long as I can. The weight was starting to cause me knee and back problems. So I just did it. The hardest part is trying to get your mind to behave. We will not starve... I promise. I am on the post op side now and so very thankful. Can't wait to be into my other smaller clothes that I have hanging in the closet!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
