I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on August 25th. Today is the first day of my 2week pre op diet. I still have to go to Boot Camp (a meeting to go over things and ask final questions with a nurse) then my last visit with the Dr. And take a test???? Very last thing will be a final blood test and get my time for surgery. I am so excited to get on with the rest of my life. I am 64, start weight 241 and 5'2". Oh and 24 hours before surgery a liquid diet. I'm glad I found this app. Michele

Question!! So how much time does everyone plan to take off from work and what kind of work do you do?! I seem to be getting resistance becuz of the type of surg. But when I had Ivf or we are pregnant everyone is so nice to lend a helping hand but becuz this is "elective" I need to be able to carry deadweight.. FYI I work as an xray tech at a hospital.

I am having mine done in Mexico. I work 7 days on, 7 days off and I'm only taking my usual 7 days off work. I plan to be back to work after a week. I do have an office job though and I sit on my butt all day though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
