Believe it or not, it goes by fast.

In the mean time, just prepare yourself mentally and physically.

Get in the habit of exercising or taking your daily Vitamins etc.

You can do it!! I know you can.

and also prepare your head hunger. . .try to train yourself now to test if your really hungry or just "think" your hungry. this is a big part of success with the sleeve. What you do is this. . . say you've eatten your first meal. . .then about 2 hours later you say, wow I'm hungry. . . stop everything your doing and "listen" to your tummy. . . is it growling? No, then your NOT hungry, you may just be thirsty, go drink Water or crystal light. . but don't eat. . . then when lunch comes, eat your meal and repeat. . this is especially important to do if your a night eater like the majority of us. . .if you really are hungry and your tummy is truly growling, eat a fruit or something light, and not a candy bar or junk food. . . its tough, but you can do it, just like the rest of us have. . . . good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
