Wow! I didn't even realize this was a possibility. What were the circumstances for the date change?

Something came up and my surgeon is going to be out of town that week...dang-it

Can anyone recommend a liquid brand of glucosamine chondroitin MSM? I take Osteo Bi-flex brand in pill form now for joint pain' date=' but they do not appear to make the formula in liquid form. I take two a day, and they are big horse pills, which will be a problem swallowing after surgery.[/quote']

My pre-op is strictly limited to Protein Shakes and Water. It's tough! I drink Premier Protein which I don't mind the taste of.

I am sitting here chuckling. I thought maybe you were getting married to someone named Newhouse between now and surgery. Not only did I think that a strange way to spend a honeymoon' date=' but I wanted to inquire as to what substance you were on to be so calm in the face of your wedding and life altering surgery! :-)

My surgery is the 4th and I am pretty much obsessing.[/quote']

That's hilarious. I am pretty calm but also growing impatient. Can I just have my surgery already? Sigh. Went for pre-op testing today and I asked the admissions person if there was an opening today. Lol. She just laughed.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
