Ok so here's my story....last year I started my journey to have the sleeve done everything was going very well....I was approved to have it done on May 9th 2013.....I started my liquid diet and on day 2 I was rushed to the hospital for dehydration....I blacked out in the bathroom of the emergency room and woke up on the floor with the WORST BACK PAIN OF MY LIFE....long story short I hurt my back so bad I couldn't have the surgery :(.....so I went back to my old eating habits and kept putting the surgery off even tho my back was doing so much better. SO HERE I AM ALMOST A YEAR LATER and something just clicked in my head and said "GIRL DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR DO YOU WANT TO GET READY FOR THE SUMMER WITH A NEW START ON LIFE"?? And I called my surgeon the next morning and made a appointment to see her and I seen her on February 17th and she checked all my paper work from last year and to my surprise she said I wouldn't have to start all over....I was the happiest PERSON ON earth at the time.....so she gave me a date for MARCH 8th 2014 .....I couldn't believe the date she said I was IN SHOCK.... All I have to do is the pre admission testing and some blood work from my doctor....I'm BEYOND EXCITED this time around....I'm nervous and scared but I believe in GOD AND he will see me thru :) I start my liquid diet 2moro and I'm scared of what happened last year so I will be drinking Water and liquids all day because I'm so ready to get this done and over with. *EXHALES* sorry for talking so much lol

I'm excited for you! Congrats. The more 'ready' you are... the better you do. Stay in that mindset. The pre op diet is a challenge but keep thinking of the light at the end of the tunnel. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
