I went today for my final visit before surgery. I am indeed nervous, nervous! Talked a little to my doctor about it today and he said it is perfectly normal, so I am just trying to breathe!

Everything is moving too fast and too slow all at the same time! Had a reality check when I went out with girl friends for my "last hurrah" but it will be worth it!

Elvislover I am July 10 so we will have to check in on each other!

Just don't forget to do your foot exercises as soon as you can start! Most hospitals should have you on a foot pump that moves your foot to stimulate blood flow ad decrease venous pooling. Remember to use your inspiration spirometer and walk when they tell you too!!

Some patients pre op use visualization to help with anxiety. Others do relaxation stuff. Personally when I get nervous I kick back, pop on some enya and try to relax. If that doesn't work ....

I pop battlefield 3 In the ol Xbox and kill people.

Lol hang in there and just remeber that you will be fine. At the risk of sounding like a dork follow the words of the all knowing morphius. "don't think you are, know you are"

      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? 🤷‍♀️
