Awesome! I am so happy for you! It will be an absolutely amazing journey. I can't wait to follow your progress. I urge you to check out my blog. There is a series of three posts about how I prepared for my surgery. I think you would find them very helpful.

Best of luck to both of you!

My one bit of advice post-op is to get up and get moving as soon as you are able to after surgery. I really helps with the healing process. Best of luck and keep us posted!!!

Thanks everyone! Any tips or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Mama, we can keep check on each other. Can I ask where you are starting from and where you live?

I live in Marianna FL and I am in my 2nd month of pre-op process. Getting appointments done. I see a psychiatrist tomorrow for my evaluation. Then next week I see a physical therapist. They said it would be a 3 month wait for approval so fingers crossed. I need this surgery desperately bc I have lymphedema in both legs so I can't be as physical as I want to to get the weight off so this is my next option. I'm ready to start a new healthier and happy life. It will be like being reborn:)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
