Four more days here also. Right there with you Rena and miss Tiff. I'm not nervous yet probably that day ill freak out! I just know I'm going to say going into the OR "What the hell did I get myself into here". Hope hope hope I made the right decision. I hope I see the surgeon before I go under did everyone here see there's? I'm not doing to bad on the pre op because I do a shake in the AM then a Protein Bar for lunch and a shake, the I get 4-6 ounces Lean Protein, 1 cup cooked veggies or 2 cups raw veggies and if I want a 1/2 c of a carb and 1 tsp fat. I just make sure I get that 60-75 grams of protein. I don't know how you ladies can do it with just fluids. Well at least it won't be long now good luck ladies!

Good luck to you all tomorrow. Don't be scared you will be fine. I'm 2 days post op and I woke up after surgery feeling like I didn't even have it.

I do have to say after anesthesia wore off the gas pains came.

Feeling pretty good. I have to be proactive about my pain meds but the discomfort is very manageable. I get to shower and lose the I'VE in the morning and the surgeon said if I have a good day he may let me go home a day early.

Surgery in the morning!!! I can honestly say I'm not nervous yet but who knows if I'll be able to sleep! See you losers soon! ;)

Best of luck!! Hope it goes quickly and smoothly! I have been out of hospital 1 week today. And never felt better.

Took my dressings off yesterday, and the little slits(key holes) are all closed up an healing nicely. My surgeon did an amazing job. Ppl cannot believe how small the holes are and that they did all that work through them.

I am happy with everything, and being almost 21lbs down yesterday since pre-op diet, I feel amazing. And it really does get better every day.

Way to go! I was thrilled when I stepped on my scale yesterday that my weight had not really changed since my pre op weight. I am looking forward to seeing those numbers drop.

Oh they will drop. Currently I lose about 1lbs every 2nd day. And on the other days nothing. But it's still down, so that's all hat matters.

Lol! I woke up and thought the same thing! Even asked my nurse :) I guess I was lucky with the gas pains and didn't have any. Made up for it with other problems though! Lol!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
