Surgery Tomorrow! Yeah! The Day Is Finally Here!



Recommended Posts

Good luck to everyone! I promise you will be so glad that you made this decision, it may not be in the first few weeks, but you will. I'm 6 weeks out today and I am down 56 lbs, and I feel wonderful! Just take a deep breath and say to yourself, "I'm doing this for me"! We will all save you a seat on the losers bench!

This is EXACTLY what I needed to read right now. Thank you. I'm being sleeved on Thursday and my nerves are really starting to get the best of me. My brain is wandering saying 'Are you sure you can't do this on your own?' and 'Are you ready to leave you son behind?' I need to FOCUS on the POSITIVE and the reasons I'm doing this.

Momma melly don't be scared, you can do this, you are stronger than you think! The best advice I can give you is to walk as soon as they tell you to and sip your liquids even if you are not thirsty, you do not want to get dehydrated!

I'm almost a week out. I was pretty miserable and in a lot of pain the first 2 days and had moments I regretted what I chose to do. But everyday I feel a little better and can eat and drink a little better. I can feel that I will be happy soon and that this will work

It's probably not a bad thing you didn't have to do the 2-week preop diet because after 3 weeks I'm sick of it!! The thought of chicken soup/broth makes me sick and I'll be happy to stop the shakes.

And can I just say, if you look that sassy now (your profile pic) watch OUT world when Ms. Carey starts getting smaller!

My day is finally here! I am being sleeved tomorrow with Dr. Walton in Edmond, Ok. I am so ready to start my new sleeved life.

Wish me luck! See everyone on the other side.

Good luck! I am 1 week post-op sleeve and I am doing great! I spent 3 days in the hospital and it went pretty smooth. Wishing you all the luck with your new life and new body! (:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
