The first three days after surgery I was very tired. In fact the 3 rd day I slept much of the day. Then I turned the corner on my recovery and I am back to my normal self, like I never had the surgery. Just going about my activities like normal. Love it!

3 days to go!! I'm freaking out because I am worried about my liver not shrinking enough. Probably shouldn't be worried seeing that I have lost 25 pounds on my own. I guess since I am not scared of the surgery, I had to find something to freak about. This is what I get for reading stuff on the Internet about surgeon's closing people up for having fatty livers.

I think you need to relax you are going to be fine. You have done an awesome job on your weight loss so far. I only lost 7lbs before surgery and I didn't get turned away. Everything is going to work out for you ; )

I just has to maintain before surgery. I only lost 3 lbs. and my doc said what shrinks your liver is the 24 hour liquid diet before surgery.

Thanks for all the encouragement. My family and friends can tell me it's going to be alright and love the support they are giving me. Support from people who understand what I am going thru is a lot different. We are all in this together.

A good note I weighed in today HW 300. SW 274 CW 264. Surgery on 6-16-14

I am making steady progress also. At the age of 60 I do not expect to keep up with the younger crowd and know that my weight loss will be slower. That's ok. Steady as she goes!!!

HW 226. SW 220 . CW. 212. Surgery date 6-17-14

Waiting on a call back from the doctor's office. They are trying to get me a pre-op appointment at the hospital either today or in the morning. My meeting with my surgeon isn't until 2 tomorrow afternoon and my surgery is Wednesday. Getting really nervous now.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
