awesome, I have a date, and Jane had it all along just didn't know it, was approved in September, Dr said you're approved as of Jan 15th..so I thought this was just an approval date not the surgery date, anyway, super excited, have last appointment and pre op registration on the 5th, I was supposed to start 2 week liquid diet on Jan 1st but I started early :) surprisingly today hasn't been hard. So glad to hear you're finished up..almost! Gosh you could be done in January probably right?

That would be amazing but I am thinking it may be February before I have it done. Congrats to you though!! You are so close! I am not looking forward to the liquid diet lol

I wasnt either but for some reason today wasn't bad. I ate over the weekend when i was trying to start liquid early but I i watched myself. Anyway I had some anxiety I guess that I would go nuts on it lol..but hopefully it's gonna be ok! I had beef broth this evening. It seemed like it would be so good but it wasn't..tasted kinda fake. And I'm not picky at all. I find it really hard to sleep when I'm not eating. Hoping I will do ok with that too.well keep in touch if you want! I think I'm starting to get a headache, ,which is easy for me to do so I think in gonna have a carb control shake, well have a good night sorry for rambling lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
