I'm November 4th in Adelaide Australia.... And after reading all your posts I'm so glad that I don't have the insurance company dictating to me the way you do.... I started vlcd 2 days ago.. Feeling yuck, but it says that will pass!

Not yet' date=' I start on October 28th! I think I'm most nervous about the two week liquid diet before surgery (and having to get an IV, think I'd rather do the surgery conscious than have an iv in haha, it's a phobia) than the surgery or recovery combined. Still fat me, with all the hunger and large stomach and only the shakes to quell the hunger... Lets just say I might have a MAD case of the H-ANGRIES! Heh[/quote']

Yes I started 2 days ago... Doing okay with it but I'm very tired hoping it passes......

I lived outside of Tuscaloosa. I miss it too. I live in WV. Born and raised a Mountaineer but a Alabamian at heart!

I live in WV also. Born a KY gal though! Waiting for insurance approval now. My surgery will be in KY

I'm scheduled November 14th! So excited! I have my pre-admissions testing, final physical and nut class on Oct. 25th. That's also when I start my pre-op diet! My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, just 1000 calorie diet. They gave us a book with all suggested meals. So nervous! But I can't wait to be on the other side.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
