You have 30 days LOL and it will fly by! Get your Vitamins bought, ask your questions here, pack your bag for the hospital, get your food bought for 2 weeks after surgery. I did all this for me and my husband, and thanks to all the good advice i received here I was well prepared. It seems overwhelming but it is just in our minds!

I busied myself cleaning closets so I would not be sitting around waiting. I also spent a lot of time in the stores, reading labels.

One thing that helped me was a monthly calendar I kept in the kitchen, making notes doe pre-op and post op appointments. surgery, and I wrote the dates for starting liquids, dates to stop taking certain meds and Vitamins, and the dates for different meal schedules after surgery. No way could my brain hold all that info!

Best of luck to you! Linda

      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? 🤷‍♀️
