Started pre-op today, my bmi is 42 so they told me to do a 10 day preop. I am already dying.....this is HARD!!

Only being able to have a shake for Breakfast and lunch is harder than I thought.

Who all is having surgery next week? I leave Sunday for surgery Monday and have been having anxiety attacks. I'm getting nervous, can't wait for the surgery to be over and to be back home. I know it'll be worth it in the end it's just the day prior to surgery and surgery day that make me the most nervous! What's everyone doing (or have done) to remain calm in those final days?

I leave Tues for surgery Wed. Im a wreck! My bf was too busy doing laundry to come help me do yard work & get my house ready, my other male friend was too hungover to help me & my gf keeps making jokes that hit me wrong & when I asked her to stop or tone them down because I'm extremely sensitive right now she got upset told me to not take it that way. So my support system is non-existent now. I feel like I'm in this alone..mom never even considered going with me. I guess if anything, I got God & you all! Hugs to those needing it right now!

Most of my friends and family are neutral but some feel it is their duty to inform me of their opinions. We are all here for you, girl.. Don't let them get you down.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
