Surgery in the morning!! Question is everyone on clear liquids the day before or just certain doctors require that?

Mine is 3 days before. Day 1 today. Ugh. Not handling it well. One day would be so much easier. How are you feeling? Nervous? Ready?

I'm nervous excited ready!! Been on liquids for 2 weeks and been hearing certain people talk about clear liquids the day before surgery and didn't remember what my doc said.

I have been given a date of January 27th, at St. Peter's Hospital in NJ. I requested this hospital since myself and my family are very comfortable there. This is whet all my kids were born, and my wife and I have had stays there. It made perfect sense to have this journey start here as well...I wish the very best to you all!!!

I'm still stuck at the Houston airport. I'm on the standby list at number 5 right now. I sure hope I make it on this plane that's about to leave. I spoke with Janese with a lighter me and she stated that all 3 clients that were scheduled to come in today are late due to plane delays.

Oh no! Hopefully they will be accommodating!

They are so not helpful at all. I feel as if I should not be on the standby list. The only reason I am not in TJ now is because one of there flight attendants did not show and causes us a 3 hour delay.

I made it on the plane. TJ here I come

I finally made it to San Diego at 7:50Pm now I'm waiting on my driver. I thought he would have been here giving the fact I called them and informed them of what time I was landing over 4 hours ago.

Hi January sleevers, two things I recommend to you is take measurements before your surgery so you have a benchmark of where you started. These can be so helpful down the road when the scale isn't moving but you're losing inches so progress is still occurring. If you have already had surgery, it's still not too late. Take them when you're feeling up to it.

My other recommendation is take pictures of yourself also, a front shot and side shot. I know I hated looking at these pictures, but when I look at how I look now, it is amazing to see the difference.

Good luck to all of you with your upcoming surgeries. To those traveling in snow and ice, safe travels to the hospital and upon returning home.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
