Definitely feeling the same. At the same time not looking forward to watching everyone eat great BBQ and not being able to. Oh well worth the sacrifice

I literally thought the exact same thing less that 5 minutes ago!!! I am thrilled to know that this time next year I will have completely transformed my way of life. 4 weeks from today I turn into Slenderella. :D

When I posted this I didn't think about people being on the pre-op liquid diet :/ (duh!)...I'm sure it's a tough day but bittersweet! :)

Slenderella I'm 30 days out too!...Good luck to everyone!

Yeah, I'm on the clear liquid diet too so no BBQ for me. But I'm getting sleeved on Friday and it's totally worth it!!

I originally anticipated a Nov surgery date and I've been contemplating hard about moving it up. I would hate to go through the holidays and be sick at the sight of food. I can't wait though, by next 4th we will be in better health and shape!

YES!!!!! This totally went through my mind. So excited for all the changes the sleeve will bring to my life.

SweetTee, my date will most likely be in November too, and that is exactly how I feel!

I'm a little worried about being on liquids/mushies over Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Year's. Sigh. It will all be worth it though, because on those holidays the year after I'll be a skinny, healthy lil beezy :)

TransformerOfYoungMinds you are so right. It will totally be worth it. I can't wait until my day comes. I'm so looking forward to life after my sleeve. I can't wait to feel better about myself as a whole.

I am looking forward as this being my last "summer of discontent" i plan to be wearing pretty shift dresses and shorts and halters. My son graduates from International Film School in Cuba next year and I plan to show up, hubby on my arm feeling good about myself in front of my ex and his wife. This is my goal. No pain (arthritis) and back to feeling good about myself. Because right now, I am miserable and sad. Working on my pre-reqs hoping itll be done soon.

      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.
