It is so natural to feel nervous before your surgery. I was excited, nervous and scared all at the same time. I got through it by just reminding myself of the prize, a happier, healthier me who will be around for a long time.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how everything goes!

Thank you Susan! I totally was ready I

Have worked really hard on my liquid diet ( I ate a few saltines when I had nausea ) but other wise I was completely ready until right now! Ugh! But you are right Susan this is what I need to do for a happy healthy me. Thanks again! Guess I just needed a little reassurance!

I have surgery on Tuesday also and I am anxious scared excited all at once. I worry it will fail like all other diets failed before. I worry I will have a serious complication. I also worry if I don't have the surgery the obesity will kill me so I choose to trust my surgeon, and I know I have a husband who supports me and great people on here who are rooting for me to achieve success. We will both do great!!!

I'm scheduled for 10/15 and I'm also scared, but I know that this has to be done! I'm 29 and have been fat my entire life since as far back as I can remember. I am feeling better by reading others people experiences and success. Good luck to you. Stay strong!

My surgeon told me if I hadn't been nervous/anxious/scared that I wouldn't be 'normal' and he'd worrry. I got sleeved 8/21, nerves and all. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
