This is my first posting and I'm feeling nervous and exited at the same time since today I got my surgery date. I begin my two week liquid diet on Monday 10/29 and my surgery date is 11/13/12.

I know that I'm in good hands with Kane Center in Il. I have read many posts here that have helped me so much.

Congratulations on getting ur surgery date! How exciting..and i love your titel "new beginnings". Its so true! I was 280 pre op, lost 20 lbs on my pre op diet and i am 248 today. Surgery was Oct 2. No matter what happens, just remember..everyday will be better than the last one! the 2 week pre op liquid diet is seriously a head checker!! Post op it gets easier, because u know you have restrictions. Good luck on your journey and take lots of pictures :)

Thank you everyone! You have no idea how your support lifts my spirits! Besides the sleeve, I'm going through marriage problems that have brought up other issues. But my faith in God and the support from my family and close friends and not to mention this forum keeps me positive when there's so much negative around me.

I'm starting at 230 lb's, and have struggled with my weight for years. The most weight I ever list was 30 lb's but gained it all back and then some.

To my sleeve twin, I'm also from Chicago. Great to hear we're in this together on same day!!!! ????

      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? 🤷‍♀️
