I had an EGD done two years ago when they found out I have celiac disease. I had an awful doctor who did not anesthetize me, freeze my throat or even give something like Valium to calm my nerves. Hands down, worst medical procedure of my life! I was very happy when my surgeon said that I didn't need another one. Oh, and immediately after the EGD, I had a colonoscopy performed. Same thing- no medications or anything. I'll never go back to that GI doctor ever again.[/quote

OMG you poor thing! That is outrageous.

@@Stacyann81 you can do it!!!!! Anytime you got a hunger pang just take a nice big chug! And all while you're doing it you'll be getting a tan and just think that is the last time you'll ever be a "big girl" on the beach!!!!!

Got on the scale this morning and I lost another 2 pounds. I am only 5 pounds away from my surgery day goal of 300. Only 26 days left until surgery. 19 days left until my pre-op appointment. Hope it goes by quickly!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
