Why can't I be excited.....I am craping my pants! Fear of complications and I don't mind the diet I guess but when you feel hungry it is hard to imagine not feeling that way all the time after WLS.

I glad we can all chat here...I too can't wait to ditch the CPAP!

I feel you I'm very afraid to but I have confidence in my surgeon I'm thinking what if I don't change my eating habits and what if I fail at this miserably I've been started to change my main eating habits also by putting Protein first and everything else second. I'm having surgery on 26 November and i'm officially one week pre op.

I've heard a lot of people lose the hunger, it's the head hunger you really have to get over. Jacqbult where are you having surgery? The hospital I'm going to has a very good rating and the actual surgery is safer than giving birth so that was reassuring for me and my worried husband :)

So how are the nerves? I'm due at the hospital at 6am on Monday. I have to be up at 4am to take a pill called emend (for nausea). I'm super nervous but excited for this journey.

My surgery is tomorrow...I have to be there at 7:15am. OMG. The Hospital I am going to In Michigan is one of the Highest rated in Michigan and my surgeon is rated 3rd in the country. But still I am a nervous wreak.

Wouldn't it be fun is we could all be in pre-op together....chatting about everything....

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
