Are you all ready for your surgery tomorrow??

I am scheduled April 2nd! Like some of you it feels like this has been a long journey and as it finally comes to an "end", it is also a start to another amazing journey!!

I only have to do 3 days of a full liquid pre-op diet so will be starting my Sunday! I will try to update you all sometime the 2nd or 3rd! :)

Good luck to everyone! We are ALL going to do amazing things and accomplish so much after this month!!

Cheers to a new healthy lighter version of all of us!

I feel like I can't stop grinning I am so excited :) A woman I know just came back after having been out for the survery and she already looks fabulous. Her clothes are hanging off of her and she is talking about how much energy she has. She has been fighting a lot of nausea but even she says she still is glad she did it. I can't believe that Friday is the day!!!!! So super smiley!

I know it's all so exciting isn't it?? Please pray for me. I'll more than likely be on my period during surgery which is bummer but I can deal with that....but my daughter just came down with strep throat so I'm praying I don't come down with it or you know they'll cancel surgery!

Hey ladies. Everything went great yesterday. No gas pains but it feels like I did one too many crunches. Today I do the leak test and start on liquids! I ended up started my period just like I thought but it was AFTER surgery and not before. So praise God.

Hello, All! Things are going very well over here. Back home, very little discomfort, all in all, things are good! That said, I am already fighting head hunger. Sigh.... Good news, though, dropped weight already :) so I keep window shopping online and stay focused on that :) How are you all?

Hey Lia. I'm doing well also. I didn't lose my hunger either but I'm completely terrified of damaging my new stomach that I'm just sipping slowly on liquids. I'm doing well! Glad to hear you are as well. Cheers to a new life!

Just checking in. I'm doing great. No pain. My incisions are almost healed. Just moved to pureed food and everything is going great. I've had a couple of times I ate a little too fast and everything felt heavy for a few hours. My hunger is really not there as long as I am feeding my body every 3 hours and getting my fluids in.

That's great. I get to start on soft foods Friday and I can't wait. Been on all liquids for 3 weeks now including the 2 weeks pre op. I am over it! Lol. All my incisions have healed over except that main one where they took the stomach out of. It's been oozing for a few days.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site . I had surgery on April 2nd. I'm in Fort Worth, TX. Would love to have some fellow members to go through this journey with. I started at 271 lbs and am now 241 so I am down 30 lbs since preop. I am getting a little impatient. I just want to be at my goal weight already. How much are you all eating at this point? How many calories a day? My goal is about 800 calories a day. But I am starting to get tired of eating the same stuff. I need some new food ideas. Also how much exercising is everyone getting in?

      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 🙏❤️

        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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
