I just want to say hello ladies, I've been lurking around this site for a while gathering some great information (thank you). I'm at the last stages of pre-op, I have an appointment with the NUT on Tuesday and I will find out then if there is anything left for me to do. The Nervousness is setting

Well welcome. When I was finished with the preop stuff it all seemed to happen so fast.

I'm so envious. I feel like I'm not losing weight at all. Tomorrow makes one month. Day of surgery I was 240. I've been at 227/229 for two weeks now.

What are you eating. How much Protein are you taking in. Are you exercising? If all is in order, a call to your NUT or md is necessary

Hi ladies, just received information that all of my information has been sent to the insurance company. Now the wait begins. I have Cigna, for those of you with this insurance, how long did it take to receive approval? I am ready to be a 'LOSER' :) in a good way

      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? 🤷‍♀️
