Okay Amy I took your idea about the personal thread, what a great idea. Ok well I got my pedi today with a friend of mine and it really helped me to relax. I didn't get the neon color I had talked about because my friend has breast cancer that went with me so I got the breast cancer pink on my toes for her. Then we spent the rest of the day together and it was great until I got ready to leave. She is the strongest person I know and has been through so much in her life but when she hugged me good bye she started to cry and then I started to cry. I told her I would be fine and not to worry and that I would be back before here next Chemo treatment. That was the first emotional breakdown I have had. Actually, I was only crying because she was crying, that's what good friends do right? Well anyway big girl panties are on and I am going to bed(or try anyway)so I can sleep for a few hours. I have to leave the house at 3:20am eastern time. I will keep u guys up on my journey as much as possible.

Safe travels and chin up! I'm getting tiny freak-outs already and I hope they don't get worse (sleeved on the 28th). It feels like waiting for your turn to jump out of the plane hoping the parachute is packed properly. So anything and everything you tell us helps the next folks in line calm down a bit. Thanks in advance for your report(s)!

I will try to give as much detail as possible. I know that I hung on every word of somebody that posted lots of detail and it really helped to keep me focused.

Ok so I had my alarm set for 3am but for some reason I woke up and quickly looked at the clock like my alarm didn't go off and I was going to miss my plane. IT'S WAS ONLY 2:17. My heart has just calmed down. I can't even be mad that I woke up early because I was so greatful for the sleep that I did get and for not being late. Well guess I will start getting ready. Yay it really really here!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
