My Life Will Change On August 29!



Recommended Posts

Six months of nutrition classes completed, appointment with dietician and shrink completed, now just waiting for surgery on Aug. 29. Excited and nervous all in one. I've been eating tons of stuff that I may never eat again...hate that insanity. Need this lifesaving tool badly. I'm ready to let the changes begin now!

I am thrilled for you! I know how it feels to get right around the corner from surgery but it will come really fast! I was sleeved June 23rd and it's the best thing I ever did!

Hi Dolly, welcome to the boards and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. August is proving to be a very popular month around here. There is a forum for august surgeries if you wish to meet people who are going through the same emotions, experiences, as we are. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/38113-august-sleevers-where-yas-at/

If you go in and introduce yourself, FutureSkinnyPants will get your name and date on the surgery board that she is so graciously keeping up with. The board keeps growing on a daily basis, so we welcome all new people.

Best of luck in your journey.

It will change Dottie, good luck to you and get ready for all the complements as you lost wt. I thought some people would notice but not like this, my gym now wants me to pose for before and after pics. I don't think I will do it though. Anyway enough about me, I wish you luck in the future and hope your surgery is a success.

      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.
