Counting the minutes at this point! Did some shopping last night for those Thermacare heat pads in case I still have gas pain on the plane (flying to/from MX from the east coast) and a few other tidbits. I bought a front close, no wire bra but it's ridiculously uncomfortable (44DDD) so it's going back. I'll just be uncomfortable in my underwire bras, thanks.

How cool that there are so many of us on 7/1!! This pre-op diet has been kicking my butt. I will confess that the sweet everything was getting to me and I caved and ate a couple of dill pickles. Weird, I know, but I needed something NOT sweet. I probably should've just poured myself another cup of broth. Still, I'm down 8 pounds so far and TOM is approaching so I think I'm doing okay. :)

Good luck to everyone. Let's keep each other posted and support each other through recovery.

My surgery date is July 1st. My pre-op is the day before my surgery. I will admit I'm getting pretty anxious. Just this past Monday I found that I have Protein s deficiency. Thursday they placed an IVC filter. Talk about cutting it close. I am just taking it easy... Wishing someone would "invent" a new clear liquid. I am in north ga.

Hello. I am also scheduled for VSG on July 1st. I'm in the middle of pre op diet and wow is it a challenge. I'm finding it so incredibly hard....but only a few days left right. I am nervous but I thinking about food so much on this pre op diet that I think that has quelled some of my nervousness. Anyway. I'm glad to find this group of us. Looking forword to going through the journey with all of you.

Yesss the pre-op diet is hard!! I have experienced the growling stomach but also I have been snappy with my husband and today I have a headache that I am thinking is caffeine withdrawal. I try to keep looking to the future realizing it will get better but sometimes that doesn't help much and my surgery is not until the 8th so I have a bit to go. It is nice to have others to share with because as loving and supportive as my husband, mom and friends are they have no idea how much I am struggling at times. Hang in there!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
