9 days and counting



Recommended Posts

It's official. I have just 9 days left! I was at first very nervous and extremely moody from the diet changes, but I am much happier, have a positive mind set, and the liquid diet is going surprisingly well. I don't even think about food. I am all about the discipline. No is no and that's that. I'm so ready to start my new journey!

Thank you! A year has flown by... just think in a very short time from now you too will be happier and healthier!

The first week (or four:p) are tough physically and emotionally, be kind to yourself and give yourself time :)

Yes, I'm so excited to begin. Thank you for those helpful tips because I can't help but think how ill feel mentally about it the first couple of weeks. I am going to try and take it one day at a time. I live by "this too shall pass" lol.

Yes I knew from reading here that there would be some depressing days. And boy there was! Even though I losing weight I still had days where I just went back to bed crying. It helped knowing the emotions where normal and temporary.

But know that we are so lucky to have this opportunity and in the end it's worth the few down moments.

you may go through unscathed too! I was terribly addicted to food and missed my comfort eating.

I too am a Nov 13th sleever! Feeling very good about this as my insurance required 6 months of counseling and nutrition classes. Prepared me well in addition to the many years of trying to decide if WLS would be too "extreme" for me.

Decided a healthy me is what was best...

I wish you great success!

I am in Northern California. You?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
