Hey Susan!! The 11th isnt too shabby a day...i am having surgery that day too!!

Not only are we having our surgery on the same day, we both get to do a 3 week liquid diet instead of the 2 week liquid diet!!! I guess I shouldn't be upset because I have lost almost 10 pounds in 7 days and that is the reason that we're all here...should be interesting to see how much I loose before surgery day!!!

Congratulations on losing almost 10 pounds!

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

***Newhouse? Sigh I meant nervous. My iPhone hates me.

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, 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.

Im just so excited and reading this forum so much. I wrote a list of things I want at hospital and what I think I should have readily available when I get home.

And just screaming out of excitement sometimes when I'm alone in my car. :).

I thought I was the only one screaming in my car! :P

I'm ready for a renewed life.

Can anyone recommend a liquid brand of glucosamine chondroitin MSM? I take Osteo Bi-flex brand in pill form now for joint pain, 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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
