I just got my insurance approval today. Surgeons office called to schedule my last appointment before surgery. Long story short- looks like I will have that appointment this Friday and my surgery on Monday 7/1!! Due to my husbands work schedule it was either schedule for 7/1 or wait till 7/24. (hubby will also be having surgery but I'm going first due to his busy schedule and child care).

So, starting no carb diet today and all liquids Sunday. I am so excited and scared. I hope this is enough time for my liver to shrink too.

I only had 10 days on special diet pre op, so I'm sure you will be fine! Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I will keep you all posted! I'm definitely nervous, cold feet are setting in. I really wasn't expecting to have my date so close to getting approval. The no carb/low fat diet for the next few days will be a challenge but I should lose a few pounds. I really want this surgery to go smoothly and am hoping for an easy-ish recovery! Next step is buying all my vitamins/supplements (not sure about dosing for these) and taking some "before" pics.

Congratulations on getting your date! I'm a July 1st sleever too--there's quite a lot of us on the boards. Good luck on all of your preparations, and may you have a speedy recovery!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
