I just got my date too - and we're the same day! Everyone says it's normal to have second thoughts around now, and a woman in my support group who was scheduled for four days out was saying the exact same thing the other night. I imagine it's a healthy fear survival instinct thing causing us to check and recheck that we've made an informed choice, and even though it feel scary a bit to me, I'm feeling sure and wanting this anyway! Maybe reread some of the reasons you wanted it, and the research that lead you to it? Hope you get to a place of peace with it. I'll hold a good thought for you as you sort through it all.

Yes I believe it's normal, I know I just scheduled mine for 4-23 and instantly fear set in..smh. I know it will be ok but it's still a scary thing to go thru...

Congrats to you! Feel a awesome...I know.

We'll just have to be scared AND courageous together, eh?! Helpful to read the way you put it, about the onset of the fear being when you got it scheduled. That's the moment I had a sense of "Gasp!" and now it's fine for the most part. It's sort of the biggest step next to the actual surgery I think.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
