Yay I did it! The gastroscopy went amazing! They acually put me to sleep and I felt no discomfort at all except for the freezing spray they sprayed into my throat (thought I had better gag reflexes than that ekkk gross) lol all went well with the whole pre op though, now the waiting game May 28th I am READY for you :D

I just had blood drawn and went to a class led by a dietician about eating and supplements. There was one girl who seemed so overwhelmed! She should be on BP reading!

My surgery is actually on Wednesday at 2:45. I'm on day 4 of my 5 day clear liquid and Protein Shake diet.

Glad all went well Maltese Gal! I'm from Florida but will be heading to Mexico for my surgery in several weeks. I'm on my high Protein low carb diet for the next 2 weeks, then a full liquid for the final few weeks. I have no doubt my liver is the size of a small rhino's, so I gotta work hard to shrink that bad boy down! Best of luck to you also Jess + honeybunz!

Silly question, does anyone know if hospitals ever do these on Saturdays? I'm only asking because with summer coming up we want to take a couple of long weekends if possible and I want to conserve my PTO wherever possible. I work M-F but I'm able to move my hours around if that's what I end up needing to do :)

Where I work, weekends and holidays are emergency procedures only.

Thanks! I'm sure that is the way it is here as well. Never hurts to ask. But it will be worth using the PTO for!! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
