How is everyone handling the nerves? I was having a full blown anxiety attack on Tuesday when he gave me my date of next week. In fact my blood pressure was up, and when the surgeon listened to my heart he commented on how fast it was going. Then I made the mistake of going straight to the lab to get my bloodwork done and of course my WBC was high! I guess mental stress can raise it.

Anyway, main point is that I am feeling much more at peace. I am soo ready for Wednesday. Just wish it would get here already so that it can be done and over with!

Thinking of you! So glad you have some peace now. I can totally understand! We are holistic individuals ... When one part is out of wack it impacts the whole.

I am doing a bit better after finding one post on here from someone who had a positive experience with my surgeon at same hospital in Tijuana. Phew!

Jc80, I hear you! I have been at this since Sunday. I am allowed to have a small piece of meat or fish, Beans, etc (protein) at night and a bit of salad, but, it sounds as though your surgeon is calling for complete liquids?

Keep remembering I can do anything for one day ... and then take it one day at a time. ????

Yeah, my dr requires 14 days of Meal Replacement shakes. They add up to about 600 cal per day.

My nervous were shot on Wednesday. I had a complete meltdown. I walked out of Walmart and into the smells of the various restaurants. I almost went twice but knew that would be a mistake. So in turn I cried all the way to church.

I've been on full liquids since Sunday. Someone mentioned being allowed to have a piece of Protein and a little salad. That would be great! But I guess will follow and and enjoy my doctors orders! I've leaned you have to push through this feeling just like with exercise. Good luck!!

Thanks so much!! I'm excited, nervous...every emotion I can feel I'm going through them all! They're calling for a major snowstorm in the Philadelphia area Sunday night into Monday...6-12 inches of snow so I'm praying I get to the hospital safely and everything goes as planned!! I'll be thinking of you all who are also scheduled Monday and am hoping to post as soon as I can!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      1. NickelChip

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

    • BeanitoDiego

      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? 🤷‍♀️
