Mrs_Johnson - me and you are together. April 21 is my day. I am so ready!

Great! We can countdown together and support each other along the way! LOL! Do you have a pre op diet? I have a two week liquid diet that I start on April 8th, so I will be needing all the support I can get!! Please keep in touch!!

I have a pre op diet for 1 week prior to surgery. And all Clear Liquids on Easter. What was I thinking. Just kidding. I'm ready for this. The Easters is what got me here.

I downloaded a countdown clock app for my iphone. 1 month today! Whoo Whoo!!! Although, I just realized I will not be able to procrastinate and do the taxes on the last day since that's surgery day.

I've also started shopping. If you are looking for small (1oz, 2oz) size containers, search baby food containers. There is a whole world of people who make their own baby food which means there are a ton of container options. Glass or BPA free plastic. My Amazon wish list is huge!!!

I am April 15!!! Start liquid diet April 1. I am so scared I won't have the energy to work once only on liquid. Should be interesting

That's exactly how I feel! My job is moderately physical and I'm worried I won't have enough energy too!

I'm scheduled for April 14th... Possibly could be earlier if there are any cancellations. Under a month now and getting excited and nervous. Pre-op mandatory diet starts 3 weeks before.

I am hoping for a April/May Surgery date! Just finished my last psychology Appointment. Waiting for letter of approval!

I called the insurance company just to make sure they received everything. They did and it is being processed! Not an official approval but representative was very positive about it.

I have been looking at my schedule and going to request an April 25 date if possible...day after my last college exam.

I have no pre-op diet just the skills I have been learning and trying over the last 6 months. Smaller Protein focused meals every 3 hours drinking Water between only. Cut out everything sugar based and high fat.

I am trying to substitute Protein drinks as meals so first half of day liquids then solids in evening.

Good luck everyone...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
