@@#9grammy same here. Should be right around 10/15 for my last registered dietitian appt. I'm really hoping for a November surgery, as well.

That should be me also! My last appt with my PCP will be mid October. Insurance approval takes a week. I am a teacher so I am trying to get surgery scheduled so that the week off at Thanksgiving is part of my recovery and I do not use my days.

Glad to have found our Month!

I'm hoping for November surgery - either just before Thanksgiving (so I use fewer sick days) or just before Veteran's Day (that's a paid holiday for me).

But I gotta be honest - I go to the initial seminar thingy on Thursday. I am REALLY just beginning, and my hopes for a timeline might not be realistic. I do know that.

But a girl can hope.

I'm right there with you, go to my seminar on Saturday. I'm fortunate, I've followed up with my insurance already and know that for their part I don't have a lot of hopes to jump through. We shall see, this journey is important though - it takes what it will take. Didn't gain it over night I suppose. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
