Still sitting in pre-op. My surgeon must have gotten stuck in her first surgery. Soooooo sleepy and ready to get this done.

Update us when you can! Praying!

Try doing nothing but shakes for a month. :( I have six more days to go. My husband accused me of watching porn... I was watching the food network last night with my eyes glazed over. Lol

If I can make it thru the next six days that will be 30 days on liquids. I cam do anything!

While on liquid diet did you experience muscle spasms?

Did my 7 day liquid diet and at 8:30 am I will be heading into surgery. This whole journey so far hasnt been an easy one, not as hard as I imagined tho. Im ready to step into my life. A healthy life, an active life. A life that feels like its my own. While Im as nervous as can be I'm also so excited for whats to come.

I understand the nerves. I am 5 days away and my nerves hit at about 10 data. I've wanted this for so long. I can't even pinpoint what I'm nervous about.

I'm now about 15 hours post op and doing well. I've been up and walked twice. First time just to nurses station (about 12 feet) then second time all the way to end of hall. I felt like I was going to vomit when I got to each "goal" point which is how I gaged when to stop and head back. Luckily no vomiting. Tomorrow I get to drink!!! Yay bc my throat feels like the Sahara. LOL.

I give all the honor and glory to God for my success today through surgery, starting recovery and having EXCELLENT doctors and nurses placed in my path!!

Congrats on joining the loser bench!!! I start drinking in like a half hour. Ugh I can't wait. My mouth feels like I'm sucking on a cotton ball. And I'm so hoarse from the intubation. Yuck!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
