Well day two of my preop diet. I have done ok... Not 100% perfect. Day one I did great until I ate a 6" veggie sub from subway... Today I did great... Until my husband made caso dip... I had some. For two days that was the only good I actually ate so for cheating its not bad but I know that I can't do it again...

I'm super proud of everyone's progress on here I don't post everyday but I read every day..trying to keep my motivation ....

Congrats to all the March Madness sleevers that have gone already! The 11th is creeping ever nearer. I'm starting to get nervous. I haven't told anyone from my family yet except for my wife and kids. I almost called my sister today and told her but I chickened out. I will probably make the call tomorrow.

Trying to figure all this Vitamin stuff out is a pain! I was given a list of about 5 different kinds of Vitamins I need to start taking after surgery, and now I'm trying to sift through the forum to see what kind to get and from where.

As a side note, I just finished drinking a vanilla Premier Protein from costco and it was delicious! The chocolate is good too, but I like the vanilla better.

Just got sleeved about 12 hours ago... And I am feeling remarkably good right now! I was fearing the gas pain, but it really hasn't been that bad. I've got 5 lap sites and it feels like I just did a really intense ab workout. I'm so glad it's finally over with... Took me 2 years of battling my insurance company and finally changing jobs to get this done. Yay! Good luck to all :)

I was sleeved yesterday and got home today. So bloated with gas! Ugh...I'm walking and hoping to get it passed. Any suggestions?

Get some gas-x strips. That will take care of the gas issue. I am being sleeved this morning and I have a box I am taking with me.

WOW day of surgery and I can't sleep. It is 4am and I am wide awake. I worked hard to get rid of my cold and I think it worked for the most part. No coughing or sneezing. Just a bit of congestion remains and some flem I cough up on occasion. I feel good about this day. I have to go to hospital at 11 for noon surgery so I am pumped. I cannot believe it made it through the clear liquid day without a hitch. only heard my stomach growl once the whole day. I took in so many liquids that if my olf veins are popped up I will be ultra surprised.

Good luck to all my fellow March 7th sleevers. We are on our way to a new life. YEE HAA!!!

Thought I would check in with you guys and girls, had surgery this past Monday. The first night was HELL!! Told the anesthesiologist dilaudid makes me extremely ill, needless to say he did it anyway. It took 24 hours to get it all out of my system. I didn't get home till late last night because I couldn't spend another night in the hospital, truly for me there is no place like home!! So far I am doing great, struggling to get in my fluids but I am getting there. Congrats to those who have been sleeved, and those who will be sleeved in the coming weeks. Can't wait to hear how you all did with this. Again Congrats to all March Sleevers :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
