Hello all.. I am an August 27th sleever.. I like this smaller post... The other one I read is up to 40 something pages? Hard to keep up ith it!

I don't start my liquid diet until 8/17, but I have already stocked up on Protein shakes and beverages from Dr. A's list. I haven't been emotional.. YET.. but I did tear up a little when I started reading those 15 emails from Susan.. it was REAL then. I think it was nervous tears because I am going alone and the thought of coming out of sedation and not seeing a family member shook me up a little. BUT, I know this is what I need to do....

So sorry about the strep throat. My son gets it and it is so horrible. My Dr that treated him says you have to carry the strep bacteria in your body to get it. The rest of our family does not get it but he can be just NEAR someone and get it. Hope the meds help you feel better super quickly!! R>E>S>T -_-

I think you are doing great considering. And I think it's just fantastic that Dr. A was checking on ya.

I know I won't regret my decision and I know this is best for me, but imam in that phase that I am questioning myself if I can really do this. This question is only coming up cause my days are ghastly flying by. All is good. No backing out. I am ready for a New Me!!!

I just hope that I have lost enough and did well on my diet that it shrunk my liver.

      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.
