How is everyone preparing? Have you told your friends, family or coworkers. I have told very few people because I don't want anyone giving me added anxiety or reasons not to so it. The people I have told are supportive and that's enough for me.

You guys?

I agree. I have only told a few people. I have enough doubts and fears that I don't need anyone else adding to it!! Lol

I really am ready for a change!!

Tomorrow is a new day. Don't beat yourself up. If it makes you feel any better I am eating like I'm going to the electric chair!!! Many food funerals and I don't plan on stopping until my pre op liquid diet on 4/23.

Well, my surgery center called today and told me I could have my sleeve done April 29th or May 5th. I'm leaning towards the 5th. I'm just very concerned that my son's birthday is the 15th....only 10 days after and I have no idea how I'll be. :/

I had pizza tonight too! I've been very good with eating healthy the last 3 weeks and tonight I just needed a break. My date is May 6th also and I'll be starting my liquid diet April 22nd so I figure dinner tonight isn't all that bad in the grand scheme of things :) I hope the next few weeks go by faster than this week has though.

Hello,

I had my EGD Monday April 7th. It went well and they found a hiatal hernia so now my insurance is going to pay for a majority of my sleeve surgery. I am impatiently waiting for my surgery date. Fingers crossed for early May : )

The small amount of people I told are the ones I thought would support me however I only have this group and just a few people I've told, the rest I've told aren't happy I'm doing this, I guess they don't understand, oh well I'm happy for me and I have all of my bariatric family here which is plenty and enough for me! XOXO :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
