My surg date was just scheduled for March 13. I was previously scheduled for Feb 20 and then 27, but I came down with an upper respiratory bug that everybody seems to have. I just couldn't get rid of the congestion and cough. I had already gone through the pre-op diet starting 2+ weeks ago and now I have to stay on it through March 9, then 3 days on a clear liquid diet just before surgery date. I lost 11 lbs. in the 2 weeks I have been on the pre-op diet and that is very encouraging. I am hoping to get down to 160-170 from my current 265 (which was 276).

I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved' date=' any other March Sleevers in the building? <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

I was scheduled for surgery today but they canceled it last week because I'm severely anemic. Such a bummer but probably for the best. I have to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy before they reschedule surgery date.

My surgeon does not require a pre-op diet but there is a very strict 6 week post surgery diet. They say being compliant is extremely important for proper healing. Good luck everyone!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
