Actually I have a ton of things to get. I'm horrible with procrastination. I still need to get the Protein powder, Vitamins, Probiotics, clean my house from top to bottom, and send in some paperwork to work. On the bright side I have until Aug 25th to do it all.

I am scheduled for August 18th. I started stocking the shelves with broth, sugar free Jello and pudding, and a variety of Protein Drinks. I also went to GNC and got chewable Multi Vitamins and chewable B12. A good blender is next on my list.

Oh is the FB group secret? I don't want everyone on my FB to know I'm getting surgery

No, it's a closed group (it tells the type of group in the upper right corner) which means that you have to be approved to join or read the posts but anyone can see that you're in it.

My surgery is scheduled for 8/12 and my 2 week pre-op liquid diet starts tomorrow. I've also started buying stuff and stocking up on stuff I'll be needing. Also on the FB group, will all my friends see that I'm I the group? I haven't and will not be announcing on my FB that I'm having surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
