I'm crazy excited. My surgery is at 10 am on Monday. So surreal that today is my last day of "normal" eating. I'm ready to leave bad habits behind and embrace this new challenge.

Me too! Mine is at 10:20 Monday and I'm spending today relaxing and spending time with my family. Sunday will be my cleaning and packing day!

I'll be thinking of all of you tomorrow that will be starting your journey at the same time as me. I'm so thankful for this supportive community!

I have spend my last day putting up Christmas lights and doing my last workout at the gym before tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 8:20, and I am really excited. I want to thank you all for you words of encouragement and support.

I'm not gonna lie I have had quite a few breakdowns but a lot of it is because I have had such a hard time with these Protein Shakes and I feel like everything makes me want to gag...but other than that I think things are going well and I go to the Dr tomorrow so I'm excited!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
