Johanna, that is so awesome to hear. I have just over three weeks and I'm starting to get nervous. Did you stay in the recovery house? I've heard that everyone is awesome it's just crowded at times.

I actually stayed at the hotel because my husband went with me. The ladies that had surgery the same day As me stayed at the recovery house and we all went together for the leak test and they told me that they loved the house. I will be going next year for plastics after I get to my goal and I will be staying at the house. Dr Almanza is a hottie, he took his shirt off for us to see his incisions for when he had the sleeve and let me tell you we all went like WOW!!!

LOL that is hilarious. I am having an extra procedure done so they are wanting me to stay at the house the whole time since there is a nurse there 24/7. I told them that my mother would be with me and Melissa said that was fine they would have a bed for her too. So I thought that was cool. I'm so ready to go!!!! 23 days and counting.

I am having surgery the same day they pick me up from the airport. I am on a 3 day liquid diet so the last meal will be 3 days before I have surgery. I dont think you can have anything the day of 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? 🤷‍♀️
