Best of luck and prayers for an uncomplicated and quick recovery!! You'll do great. Don't worry about what others say, they aren't 'you'. :-)

October 22 is my sleeve surgery day also!! I'll be going in at 7:30am for my surgery. I'm praying that this liquid diet gets easier after surgery. I'm soooooo sick of the liquid only diet, but I can suffer for a month or 2 and live a much better life. I'd prefer to be hungry for a month and later be able to stand to see pictures of myself, then eat the burger I'm craving now, and still hate every pic I'm in.

Anyway, Good luck with your surgery! Hopefully, after surgery neither of us will be hungry at all and we'll be looking sexy soon!!

I can relate to what you're saying! I'm so sick of diets, diet pills, giving up, feeling like a failure, feeling like I'm not good enough. My self esteem has suffered being overweight. I made this decision because I'm over it! I'm ready to make these changes in my life so I can be healthy and stop feeling so down about myself

Im joining you guys tomorrow! Today I made a huge pot of chicken Soup. I strained the broth and froze it and I froze the chicken for when I get to puree. I pureed the carrots from it and froze those too. Im ready and nervous, but I have done everything possible to prepare!

Good Luck Y'all!

Tomorrow for me, too! Guzzling Water as we speak. We are almost there but can't help but be nervous. Once I get to the hospital I think I might chill out a little knowing this part of my journey is ending and when I wake up a new one begins. Best wishes to all the 10/22's!

Well I had my surgery on 10/22 and I'm already feeling better! I'm so happy I've done this! I've already had my first weight loss sign! I guess in the week before surgery and the 5 days since I've lost enough weight on liquids to make my fingers shrink. I can no longer keep my wedding bands on. They fell off a few times yesterday so now I've just put them in a safe place until I can get them resized. I'm so ready to start losing weight and living my life to the fullest!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
