My surgery I'd the 9th on a tuesday. I am taking that week and the next week off. I am starting to get kind of excited! My NUT said that sometimes people could go back after a week, but that seems way too soon! A month would be nice!

Hi, just wondering how u are doing? I have been on my pre op diet since Monday and am doing good, but the weekend may be a big challenge, hubby has a takeaway and I know I will be tempted, lol. I am just focussing on what I should eat and making sure I have in what I need to stick to it. I am on the 800 -1,000cal low fat, low Carb, low sugar min Protein diet, glad I am not on the 14 day milk diet.

I am using the fitness pal app to log what I eat and am finding it very helpful.

I am going to get weighed in a short while and am hoping I have lost some more weight, only getting weighed twice a week, but I want to get on everyday.

My mom who is 80 has been Ill this week and late last night was rushed into hospital in delirium and I just wanted to comfort eat when I got home, but didn't, I had 2 slices of chicken and was satisfied.

Would love to hear how you are getting pre op, Janet

My date is 10/15 too. I'm extremely excited and nervous at the same time. I have been up reading posts since I got my approval. Looking forward to downloading the fitness pal app to track my progress. Any other ideas or tips would be super! I'm going shopping for Protein Shakes today and have no clue which ones are best.

Best of luck to you all!!

Happy Thoughts

My date is October 4th. I took 8 days off work. That's all the time I had available. So I am hoping I have a good recovery. I only work 3 days a week so that kinda helps. Congrats on your 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? 🤷‍♀️
