wow its really coming quick im getting so nervous I almost changed my mind I really need to get it together lol

When I attended the final pre-op meeting, the nurse practioner told us not to feel that we had to have the surgery, that we can back out at any time because this is a permanent decision and a major lifechange. She said just recently, a woman got as far as on the table and just before they gave her the anesthesia, she changed her mind and the surgeon said "okay, call us when you are ready" and she went home. Another guy just didnt show up period on the day of surgery and never called them.

My surgery is Tuesday (July 16). I sit here and think about whats gonna be happening and tell myself, "self, this is too much. I'm not ready for this. I'll just try again and do it on my own." Then I remember that I've told myself that so many times and lost some weight for a minute, then went to Harold's or Church's and bought a bucket of chicken and practically ate it all by myself. So much for doing it on my own.

So I had to do it the old fashioned way. I got in a corner and prayed on it and whatever happens, I feel comfortable that God has my back and will see me through this cause I asked Him to. My coworkers (they are not religious folks) keep asking me if I'm scared and I said not anymore and they asked what changed and I said because I'm leaving all my worries to God and will just go there July 16 expecting to come out of the anesthesia and seeing my hubby, kids and my mom. They look at me like "really?"

Keep your eye on the prize! A chance at a healthy, active, longer life, the admiration of friends and family, the dignity and selfworth you deserve (but may not have always felt entitled to )

Being fat sucks, but remember WE DONT SUCK!

(giving myself this peptalk )

      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? 🤷‍♀️
