By this time tomorrow I will officially be on the losers bench. Had my last real meal yesterday at 5pm, started Clear Liquids this morning and planning to record myself gulping down my last glass of something (juice, Water etc.) at midnight since I won't ever be able to drink that much at one time again.

Then its just the waiting until its time to get ready to head out the door.

I'm as ready as I'm going to be, but I will tell you that Walmart was not the place to be today. I had to go shopping before tomorrow but I didn't realize how many tasty new things are out on the market...ha ha.

I made it through and now I'm finishing up the last of the clothes so everything will be done.

I can't wait!

But I can't really complain, today is the only day of preop that I had to do. Enjoy your meal....I sure did!

See you on the other side.

I'm being sleeved at 9am tomorrow. 5 days of clear liquids....who am I kidding? I've cheated every day. But less and less each day. I will really kick myself if my surgeon won't sleeve me tomorrow. But this is the 3rd preop liquid diet I've had to do. The second one in 2 months and it doesn't get any easier. My head is pounding right now and I'd sell a kidney for some cheese fries with ranch from Outback right now. What is it they say? "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels?" Right now... I think whoever said that has never been on clear liquids for an extended period of time.

I am on day 2 of my pre-op diet currently and my last meal this past weekend was wings and fries plus a sundae. I couldn't decide on a last meal and now think back and think oh Chinese, pizza, bar-b-que. lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
