Surgery is in 5 hours! Scared, nervous, excited. I have 2 kids that will be home with my husband 7 and 7 months so that scares me the most!

Wish me luck!

I'm glad I saw your post.

I also have two children 2 and 3 1/2 years old.

My friend at work today told me to write things down I want my children to know, because if anything happens to me they won't remember me.

Now I feel lost and super sad about this.

I have my date 12/2, but now I feel completely horrible about it because of what she said. How did you deal with people and there comments?

Ignore that "friend" and keep telling yourself that you are doing this for your children. So that you will be able to participate in their play times, and keep up with them on the playground. You've got this! Thoughts and prayers go with you as you begin this to a healthier you.

      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.
