Clear liquid diet has gone alot better than expected. I've sipped on liquids all day, eaten a few popcicles and sugar free Jello and I actually haven't had much hunger. I've been trying to just keep focused on doing well and not thinking of food. Just the rest of today, tomorrow and then surgery! Can't believe it's here. Felt like this day would never come and I'm getting emotional rather than nervous. So happy I started this process when I did and didn't wait any longer.

I have butterflies in my belly......surgery is 2 weeks from today and I'm feeling like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.......all of sudden second guessing myself.....all of sudden planning on gym trips and how am i going to get my Protein in (i have great hair)' date=' are chewable vitamins just as effective, can I afford new clothes right now, will I look like a walking bobble head (body goes down, head stays the same), I'll miss eating the best greasy ribs in DC (might be a deal breaker), can I really miss work for two weeks and not stress about it CONSTANTLY.........I keep having all of these thoughts and more and normally I'm a pretty calm person.

My coworker had it a year ago and she started at 500lbs and is now down to 300 but eats all sorts of crap now and eats something constantly, I don't want to be like that. As I'm typing this, she's eating candy, yesterday it was chocolate, what the hell? Then there is that part of me that can't wait to show off in front of those that can't seem to talk to me about anything other than weight....."hey, I've got some old clothes that are waaay to big for me, do you want them?:" "You're with her, but she's fat". I can't seem to think about anything other then the post op crap....can I really do this....and truth be told........I'm scared, really scared

      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? 🤷‍♀️
