Yes.. I have started the dreaded pre op. The worst part has been the caffeine headaches. First couple of days were awful but I'm making it. I haven't had any caffeine and I think that has been the worst. However I was told to drink lots of Fluid so I believe that has helped. I also started walking an hour a day just to fill my lungs and pump my heart. I know my body is saying why are you punishing me lol. Anyways it will all be good in the end!

That's wonderful then! My appetite comes and goes. After work is the hardest. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize :)

Tried to start my pre-op a day early yesterday and all was good until I got home after work. I stopped at fast food joint and gobbled a #2 meal. What's funny is that it made me sick to eat it; like my body was rejecting it and saying "no don't eat that crap" with every bite. My husband was like "see that's what u get"!

I also was STARVED after a day at work running around and then not prepared enough with something to eat, also got fast food, but was a chicken salad at Wendy's ... Oh well, wiser today, and am more prepared. The good news is the coffee headaches are almost gone. :)

@ db1982 What is the pre op diet you're following? I would like to start a 7 day now and follow that with the 3 day yogurt and Water diet that is required by my doctor. I think it will help me get into the right mindset and start breaking bad habits!

Try to relax and not worry so much, I know the plane missing is scary but your chances of being in a airplane crash is so unlikely, you are so much more likely to be in a car accident. I have flown a lot and never even had a scare. You will be fine, you will get through this and start your new healthy life!

We'll all be thinking about you, stay in touch, we're all here to support one another.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
