Well Friends can I join your December group. I was at the hospital today all ready to go back and have surgery and the Doc came in and said he didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery today because my blood sugars have been high. I nearly begged him to do it anyway. But he just said he wouldn't feel right. So he has rescheduled it for Dec. 5. Meanwhile I need to get these sugars down. Wish me luck.

Hi all, I'm a newbie.

My op is on December 1, in Coventry, England. My surgeon is Mr Fraser.

I'm absolutely terrified, as I've been on the waiting list for months and got a cancellation. I start my milk and yogurt diet next Friday!

Ok I finish the 6 months on 11/7/2012 :rolleyes: thank God. I had missed one month and had to start all over so the process has took me 10 months. All I need to do is be patient for the next step, the doc office said not until january for the surgery. It was alot of jumping through hoops I hope it is worth it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
