Surgery tomorrow and the support I have been given by my family and my husbands family is amazing! I'm so excited to start this new journey and I pray for peace during the hard times.

I will be thinking of all the other having surgery tomorrow and those getting ready for surgery.

Good luck tomorrow!!

My surgery is tomorrow 30th as well and I've been on the liquid diet since the 15th. It hasn't been bad, but food isn't really that important. It's more about my health. I'm on Clear Liquids today and just drank my magnesium citrate to clear me out. That stuff is horrible, but choked it down. I'm only taking off Thursday and Friday from work. I work from home for American Red Cross and since I work here at my desk at home, I don't think I will need to take any additional time off. I've always been superwoman, so I will be fine.

My surgery is scheduled for 8:30 am tomorrow, so we have leave our house at 4am to drive the 2 hours to the hospital, but better than spending money to stay in a hotel and not sleep. I'm so ready for tomorrow to be over and keep moving forward.

ok, now the nerves are setting in...all packed and ready to go, just waiting on the phone call to tell me the time! The good news is that after 3 days of liquids I already lost 6 pounds! Taking measurements tonight and weighing in tomorrow! Any other Oct. 30 sleevers getting nervous?

I am also scheduled for 8:30 in the morning...it can't get here soon enough! We only have 45 minutes to drive, so it should be relatively easy to get there. Good luck and we'll talk again on the other side of the surgery!

I'm scheduled to be there at 10 not sure when I'll officially be under and stuff. I think I'm packed? The diet still sucks. My hospital is 30 - 45 minutes away. I hope I'm ready! Not nervous not anything. Still hasn't hit me!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
