Ok thx. Sounds good! I walked to the Walmart this morning, and went to the pool and jacuzzi the other days. OMG Dr. Ponce's assistant physician just came in and she is absolutely beautiful! She told me she had the sleeve two years ago and lost 110 pounds. Unbelievable, I'm so excited to have this opportunity!!!! Please if anyone is having second thoughts about anything just read and ask questions. Do you know the vast majority of people I have talked to that are getting the sleeve in TJ at Mi Doctor are nurses! The whole experience has been top notch from my first phone calls to Cindy and Christy to now, and I am very excited about the future! I already know this is the best decision I could have made. See you after the surgery.

So my surgery went well yesterday.... Still in the hospital resting.. My tummy is pretty sore and extremely swollen. Walking around has been pretty easy' date=' the worst part is trying to sit down or get back up.... Luckily the hospital beds make it easier to lift you up. I have not administered pain medicine very often and they turned my auto med thing off so if I need pain meds they will brig them to me. I did take a shower on my own.. It's just a little difficult getting dressed without any assistance. Good luck to everyone else doing their surgery... Remember don't over drink your liquids cause you will feel miserable.[/quote']

Thanks MandyNoel! It really helps to hear other people's recovery stories. It makes me less nervous.

Ok! I am 4 days away from my surgery! I had my preop testing yesterday, everything went great. I have been on liquids for 3 days now. I have come to LOVE my little single smoothie blender! I use it for my Soup, smoothies, I blend fruit juice and ice for like a slurpee kinda thing... its been great. I am down 4 pounds. I know it isn't much, but im excited!!! Im nervous but very excited. Still not sure what to totally expect but I am ready!

My bags are packed and kids and husband have been given their orders :). I have to be at the hospital at 9am surgery is at 11am. A little nervous not of the surgery or the recovery but of the risks and complications. Hope everyone who's scheduled tomorrow has smooth sailing.

      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.
