I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Thursday August 23rd @ 0730!!! With that tomorrow I will have nothing but liquids all day and start with the pre op meds tomorrow and early Thursday morning. This process has flew by. It's taken me less than 2 months from my initial consult with my PCP to surgery date, which is good, but way quicker than I had planned out in my head. I know I'm doing the right thing for me and my family. Me and my wife are expecting in late January and with me losing the weight I'll be able to keep up with him/her as they grow up, along with alleviating my constant knee pain I have due to 2 torn cartilage surgeries in my left knee. I'm soooo glad I found this site for the information and tons of support everyone here offers. Will check back Thursday or Friday after surgery!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
