I only had to do a week of the pre-op liquid diet. I am down 4lbs already since Tuesday and really looking forward to 11/6. It took the first two days to really get into the swing of things and not think about how hungry I am constantly. Now it's no big deal, I know what's waiting for me at the end of the tunnel and I can't wait!

I'm scheduled for the 13th! I'm so excited. I've done my pre-op meeting and paid for the surgery (I'm self pay). I'm finding I'm rather calm at the moment. Just a wonderful sense of peace with all this. I think the next few days will be packing and catching up with the family laundry. No real pre-op diet. I just had to lose 5% of my weight before I got my date. And now I've got to just keep it off (no last big splurge). Well, the day before I'm on Clear Liquids only (no red or purples). I get my surgery time Friday. I'm so excited I'm just rambling on.

Had my surgery yesterday, it went well. The Dr. found a hernia in my chest and repaired it as well. I walked 4 laps later that day and today I was able to eat Jello, chicken both and drink Water and crystal light. I'm a little sore and gassy but the hardest part is over. One day at a time. Going to the gym to do some cardio tomorrow. The key is to keep moving and it will definitely get better. Stay positive

      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? 🤷‍♀️
