I feel ya! I am planning on going February 17 to dr Garcia. I'm so excited!

It's aprox 2 months still, and I've been planning this since October. That's really flown, and I can barely believe another Christmas has passed, so I have faith that this can fly too!!

Is anybody stocking anything special for their surgerys yet? I have unjury' date=' Syntrax, Jello, better than bullion, B12 and liquid vites ready to go.[/quote']

Good question! This probably deserves it's own thread! I feel so unprepared because I'm still just ordering samples so far. (I think I'll start a new thread to talk about this if you don't mind)

Sure. There are alot of older threads about post surgery preparations. Of course, much depends on your docs program. Ill be coming home on liquids, my mom came home with a green flag. Anything she could handle. Here are my preps so far:

Syntrax samples(protein)

Unjury chicken Protein

Matrix and Oh yeah and Musclemilk light(meal replacements)

Syntrax unflavoured

Anywhey unflavored

Better than bullion (chicken)

Vegetable broth

Digital food scales

blender

Torrani SF Syrup

Miralax

Liquid vite, B12 sublingual, liquid Calcium and D3.

GasX

I froze some homemade broths and chili when I had leftovers.

It sounds like alot, but I haven't stocked heavy in these things. Just to get me started that first couple weeks. Hard to know what u will tolerate after surgery so no point in wasting too much $.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
