Ooh yay! Keep in touch! What are your stats? I think it would be neat to find someone with similar proportions having surgery around the same time. I am 5 foot 4 and 246 pounds. Can't wait for what lies ahead ;)

We need to! I'm 5'6 & 231. I start my pre~op diet on Monday & I have an EGD on Wednesday tge 17th.

Im on my 7 th days of liquids did/does anyone else have really bad diarrhea

It's totally normal. You have had only liquid & you will be fine. Word to the wise, keep up with your liquids! Week 2 was a lil' "rough" , I had been short on liquids and ended up sooooo constipated! !!! ( got to a point where I just could not drink anymore) I got some Mirrilax & that helped, but it was awwwwful! Best of luck!

Had my surgery approximately 9am. I'm up' date=' sitting on a chair for the second time today. Did a little walk. I feel pretty good considering.. A little stomach pain, but they say it's expecting. And I'm very tired! Thought I'd update you guys[/quote']

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Continued success!

I am up getting ready to go to the hospital. My diabetes is my major worry all day yesterday praying not to get low blood sugar and could not take my insulin so had to be concerned with high blood sugar. As it turned out I stayed normal to little higher but not dangerous levels. Diabetics heal slower so I packed for a few days in case. Wish me luck I am at 9:00 AM

All the best! Keep us posted on your success!

Amanda' date=' thanks for the update! Great to hear you're feeling reasonably OK the day of. Hope it's a breeze from there![/quote']

Thank you! I still feel great! Hoping to go home this afternoon! It's 6: 48 am (east coast) everything Is going great, I'm off my morphine, walking fine. I guess my blood sugar was a little low over night (88-should be.90-120) but they're not worried gave me a sip of apple juice & that helped& I have a low grade temp, 99.2 I'm not worried I think it's because I was sleeping I warm up when I sleep. But I'm so happy I made this choice! I look forward to the results! One day at a time. Good luck to everyone who had the surgery yesterday or that are having it today!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
