Hello. I had my surgery yesterday @ 9:00am. Have been in quite a bit of pain since I woke up. They have been giving me diludad about every 2 hours. Seems to help pretty quickly but starts wearing off after about an hour & 30 min. I got up & started walking about 2 hours after I got in my room. Try to walk right after each pain shot b4 falling back asleep. I'll update u all soon. Going to try resting a lil bit :) xoxo

My nurse just said I prob. Won't have a bowel movemsnt for about a week. Pretty sure I won't have to have 1 b4 zoo lsace

My surgery is Next Wednesday and have been on the 3 Protein Shakes a day and 2 Lean Cuisines and all the non starchy vegies I can eat.. .. It seems to be going ok.

I know my body went thru a little bit of shock since my caloric intake dropped almost a 1000 calories a day. Cannot wait for the surgery.. A little nervous,, but also excited..

Is there anyone else having there surgery on April 16th

I live in NH...

Okay, tomorrow morning is my date. Getting everything prepared. I stayed exactly to the liquid diet and I've lost 18 lbs in two weeks. It was not easy. I'm excited (sort of), a bit nervous, and I just want to get it over with. It has taken so long for me to get to this point. Glad for this forum. Best of luck to all of you.

Here's hoping that all of you awaiting surgery in April have easy pre-op diets, no stress, and feelings of excitement! I came home from the hospital today after surgery Monday, and I feel much better than I thought I would! I know I have a long way to go, but so far things have gone well. Praying for all of you as your dates arrive!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
