Finally the count down has begun, less than 24 hours and I will be at the hospital for the gastric sleeve and hernia surgery. Ready for it to be over, jumped through a lot of hoops to get here. And the liquid diet for me was def a challenge, even though people say they had no problems doing it. I will admit it was extremely hard for me. Thanks to everyone on here, I dont post much but I do read a lot of the forums for ideas and information. I wouldnt be as confident if it wasnt for finding this site. Ill see yall on the other side!

Thanks everyone for the kind words, I made it home yesterday after a long night in the hospital. When I move around mostly getting in and out of a chair or bed my sides start tp really hurt. Bust so far thats it, no nausea.

I ended up losing 18 pounds during the pre 2 week liquid diet. So I was super happy to see helped.

Thanks again for the prayers and well wishers.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
