Just confirmed my appointment with the surgeon for 3/10/14!!!!! It seems so real now. I mean, I made up my mind and sat with my husband and discussed all of this and what it means, what I will have (and want) to do, and all the risks and benefits. Now that the surgeon appt is on the books.... It's something I can't wait for, and I'm excited and nervous and scared at the same time.

I feel the same way. I am nervous and excited at the same time. It felt real when I received my surgery date. I am scheduled for February 18th. Good luck on your journey.

Good luck to you as well. This is my very first appointment. So surgery is probably still "in the distance"... I am hoping maybe mid may, early June. Keep us posted on your surgery. Many happy thoughts and prayers and love sent to you!!!

Just wanted to update everyone..... My surgery is set for May 22,2014!!! I just found out this afternoon. I am so excited and nervous and full of emotion. I have to lose 10 lbs before the surgery and I am already starting to eat off of the pre-op diet. Here's to the official start of the new me, new life, new lifestyle!! I hope all is well with each of you. And I do apologize for not checking in sooner. Life has been bull dozing me over lately.

MY date hasn't been set yet. I have to lose another 20 pounds. Any other time it wouldn't be hard to do, but this time I just can't stick with it!! I know I'm ready but can't figure out the hold-up!!

I was just wondering how you are doing??? Pre op weight loss was tough for me too. I discovered that a Breakfast Protein Shake made all the difference, no matter what I did the rest of the day. Once I gave into the shakes. I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
