Ugh! I am so upset! I just got a call from the Doc. office. They said my EKG had an abnormality. Now I have to go see a Cardiologist before I can have my surgery. I just want to cry. I am kind of upset because my EKG was done while I was sitting up, not lying down. Can't see the Cardiologist till Monday for a consult. If they do any testing it could be 2 weeks. That would put me into March. I know nothing is wrong but I also know that with my family history of heart problems there is no way the Doc. will just do another EKG and say it's ok.

Also, my husband travels every week. He was taking a week off to be with me so we need to know ahead that I will have it or not. So, sadly, at this point, have no choice but to push it back at least a week, probably two. On day six of pre-op. Now have to keep it up for an extra two weeks. :(

Will make an exception tonight and have a glass of wine but will stay with the diet.

Thank you. That means a lot to me right now. Maybe it's for the best. Leaving in the morning. Have to go out of town for a family funeral. Several people depending on us right now. Sometimes things happen for a reason.

Mine is on Tuesday the 19th. I was really nervous before the surgery date, now I'm like LET'S DO THIS!!! I think I'm mostly excited to just be not hungry. This pre-op liquid diet is pure hell for me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
