Hello, I'm having my op on the 7th too! It's exciting to have other people going in at the same time. I'm in Australia and getting nervous about it. I start 2 weeks of Optifast this Wednesday.

My preauthorization went through fairly quick. I attended a seminar on 5/21/13 and was approved to move forwards on 6/29th. Dr told me to lose about 15 pounds...I called on 7/10 to report that I'd lost 17 pounds. He wanted to set the surgery originally for 7/20, but he was booked that day, so I am scheduled on the 2 to making the biggest decision in my adult life! To change...for me! Good Luck to everyone out there!

Good luck to you too. Its lovely that there are so many here who can support each other. Am feeling nervous as my date approaches. But I think the nerves are normal. Im sure I will freak out a little afterwards too but I think thats normal too. Its irreversable and a drastic change but I have to remember how much I need to do this.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
