Hello--I am new here and saw your post and my surgery is scheduled for February 28th, too. Very excited, nervous, anxious, and almost oblivious to other things as my mind is thinking of this all the time. I think that Feb 28 though is a great day for surgery. Good luck with yours and we will have to touch base again. :rolleyes:

My name is Shelly, 42 yrs old, married,1 son, an RN and I live in Illinois :) I feel the same way. One day I'm beyond excited then the next I'm frantic and I think I should postpone lol It doesn't help me when I read some of the horror stories that happen :( I know this is the right choice for me though. My son (19 yrs) was sleeved in December and is down 94 pounds (30 before surgery and 64 in last 2 months) I know this works:) Good luck to all of us and we definitely need to stay in touch!!

I live in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I have 3 kids and my youngest is due to graduation this spring. My oldest daughter is the mother of 3 adorable grandchildren. I want to be able to play and run around with them, not just sit around on the couch because I don't have the energy. I want to be around many more years so I am praying that this is the way to accomplish that. I am really glad to have others to talk to about it who are experiencing the same thing.

I had to start my diet the 18th and having trouble with only one part of it, but it is the start of a new life so I can do this. I keep thinking if I could have had this kind of control all these years I would not have to do this, but the only reason I have the resolve to do it is for the surgery and a new beginning. Guess it does not do me any good to dwell on what got me here as long as I change that behavior. Only one week to go!!

That's how I feel too! It makes me just want to dump everything out of the house but considering other people live here I can't do that! I have had a couple of small pieces of cheese and some turkey just to satisfy me a little. I decided early on if I HAD to cheat it just had to be low in fat...

I made my first trip to the grocery store since I started the diet as I had to get stuff for the family. I did find a couple things that I could get for me, hoping that it will help me get past this (sugar-free drinks and jell-o) but the little things that normally would not care so much about sound and smell so good. It has been a challenge, but it is getting closer to the day that starts the new beginning. Counting down has even more meaning now :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
