My big day is August 4th in Mexico. Having occasional OMG moments, but mostly excited and looking forward to my new sleeved life.

Aug. 26 is my date. I'm nervous, and a little scared (I'm a big baby about pain) and not looking forward to being in the hospital...but I'm totally ready to start my new life!

I was planning to do the same thing! I was going to ask my mom to do a whole bunch of befores but she's really sick so i might have to suck it up and have my hubby do it.

4th of July holiday and switch in surgery schedules to every other Friday has put me into August now. August 1st is looking like my new date for sleeve surgery!

We were in the same July Sleevers group but I found out my date might get changed to August too! Won't know till Tuesday but we'll see.

It's frustrating to say the least. I'm to anxious trying to think about something else.

I'm hoping for August date. I have my last appt on the 14th for it to go to insurance approval. I'm staying on top of everything. My surgeons office has everything but my NUT consult. Currently they are doing end of July into August scheduling. I'm hoping it goes quickly.

Good luck

My date is August 4th. I'm doing the food funeral thing too.

I've been eating ice cream a lot too.

*evil-er wicked-er grin*

**I know there are no such words as evil-er & wicked-er. I just like the way they sound.**

I've been enjoying my food funerals a lot lately. When I got my EGD last week. I found out I actually lost a few pounds. WTH??? My metabolism is all out if whack. I can't wait to get the surgery and to start a new chapter in my life. Good luck everybody. WE GOT THIS!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
