Completed my last appointment today! Hallelujah! So much information, overload!

Kaiser only requires a two day liquid diet one day full liquids one day Clear Liquids two days prior to surgery.

Thankfully I've been following their pre-op diet on and off since May and I'm still losing weight on my own. I would love to get down another 10 pounds before my surgery.

But I am having my farewell dinners in lunches just a few things that I don't know that I'll ever be able to tolerate again.

Our nutritionist said again today some people cannot handle sugar or really greasy foods they get dumping syndrome even with the sleeve. It's amazing though when you are eating and making better choices how those foods don't feel good anymore... Happy for that!

I firmly believe nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. :)

I thought for sure I'd be sleeved in December but after a phone call with my coordinator yesterday it looks like I could be sleeved in November!!! She said since my primary insurance is Medicare I could get a reply in just a few days!! (Medicare at 36 years old isn't what I'd call a great thing though). After approval she said it's about 3 weeks until surgery.

That is good my office was 4-6 weeks out and longer at the end of the year. So glad you got an earlier date.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
