I'd like an invitation to the February 2013 Social Group!

I'll be sleeved in Mexico on Feb. 21st by Dr. Garcia. My preop diet allows me a small evening meal (only Clear Liquids the day before surgery)' date=' but I'm thinking of going to all liquids for the final week. I want my liver to be as happy as possible when I'm in the operating room!

I have to travel home from San Diego to Charlotte NC after surgery. I've been thinking about what I'll be drinking while on the plane ride back, and wondering the best way to get Protein. Will my stomach be too tender for Protein Shakes? [/quote']

Are you from charlotte? I live in charlotte and was sleeved on the 6th

A lot of sitting around waiting if it's like mine!

Awesome. Will make sure my phone is fully charged so I can play Temple Run and browse these forums all day.

Had pre op visit on the 5th of Feb and surgery is scheduled for the 27th!! Im not to happy about my surgery. I have a lapband and during the surgery my doc messd my stomach up so I HAVE to have the sleeve...But got to thinking about it...On the plus side I dont have to do fills anymore and wont have to worry about a foreign body in side me screwing up anymore!!! I guess Im mpre upset that I have to do another surgery...Scared and afraid of things that can happen with this sleeve...I really havent done alot of research on the sleeve like I did the lapband..lol guess all my esearch has lead me to were I a right now.Good Luck guys...Hope all Is well with all of you...I just need some major encouragement!!!

Starting pre-op diet today (1200 cal's a day). Surgery is scheduled for 2/22. Only have physical and final blood work to do. The EGD left me with a sore throat, which only lasted two days. Hard to concentrate on anything else.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
