Don't worry one bit, it was much more simpliar than the crown work I had done. It's a very simple, easy to recover from surgery. I wish you all the luck in the world. Just stay positive and dont waste time worrying.

WoooHooo congratulations!!! You will be so glad you mde this decision!

Any advice? Just to get all your shopping done now, so if you don't feel like going when you get home, you won't have to. Buy up some Liquid Protein, I used Zero Carb Isopure, it has 40 grams per bottle. The taste is a little iffy...but you adapt, and it really does make you feel better, and less hungry to get in your Protein. But up some broth, and Jello, some juices...get all your liquids.

Have laundry done, so you will have plenty of comfy lay around the house clothes for a few days.

Have food for other members of the family, handy that THEY can prepare, so you don't have to.

Mainly just follow the Dr.'s orders, the rough part of post op dieting etc. will be over before you know it!!! And life will begin changing soooo soon!!

Skip the big huge meal the night before that some people do, some are saying it is part of what causes excess gas pain!

Good Luck, hope all goes well, and you have an easy surgery and a quick recovery!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
