Laced up- yay! Military family! :)

He won't leave till I'm 3 weeks post op... So that's good. I do have a few GF's here... But I'm really setting things up for him/our kids. He works constantly so he won't be much help anyway. LOL! I have frozen casseroles for the kids, and tons of broths/mushies for me. So I'll be fine!

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.

I just got my date today! Mine is the 28th also!

My surgery is October 15 at 7:30 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am!!! Sunday, a tooth I got a root canal in 15 years ago starting hurting. By evening the pain was really bad. I used one of my husband's pain pills from a car wreck he had in July. Even that didn't control the pain. Went to dentist Monday and he referred me to Endodontist. That office x-rayed my tooth and determined I have a crack in my tooth and that it is infected around where the roots used to be. He prescribed better pain meds and a Z-pak to cut the infection. I go back tomorrow afternoon so he can extract the tooth and clean around it. Hopefully the tooth won't crumbled and can be reinserted. If not, I have to get a partial bridge or implant.

I've been careful to ask for pain meds with Tylenol to kill toothache pain. The liquid diet isn't bothering me cause I can't chew anything anyway. What a time to have this since my Surgery is next Tuesday, 10/15.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
