My nutritionist told me last Monday my surgery will probably be mid February. I am so ready to have it now. I go for my 6th weigh in (mandatory 6 months weight loss program) on January 21st; she told me at that time we will discuss my pre-op diet.

I have started buying my supplies for after my surgery, this is what I have so far (from my doctor's list):

Gauze Bandages and paper tape

gas-x strips

more Water for my CPAP machine

Vitamins B-12, C, D, Multivitamin, Calcium - all chewable or dissolvable.

I have yet to buy foods, because my kids will eat and drink it all.

I want to buy another bedside table, because mine has a broken drawer and I am tired of the clutter. I feel like I am nesting. Is anyone else nesting?

Here is a sheet which, if you choose to participate, can list all of our surgery dates and progress.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aVqpjHKQORE5adLPPEnRC50R5jbjZpgNWkGTZDGePWk/edit?usp=sharing

This is only open to those with the link. Just add your information. Do not put anything in column D, it will auto calculate.

Then, as you lose weight, you can go in and edit your weight loss by putting a new number in column C.

Remember to put either a minus sign in front of the number in column C or put the number in parenthesis: -265 or (265). This makes the number subtract.

I am scheduled for feb 12,2014 in Mexico, Tijuania.

I am nervous as hell.

I am nervous mostly for after the and how I will work. I took from feb 12 till feb 26th off.

I stand all day but can sit from time to time on my own stool i am bringing.

I work as a veterinary receptionist and it is actually a hard job at times. having to go grab heavy food for clients run around and do this and that. and the hours are long.

My job is not understanding at all. I am more scared about that then the real matters at hand like the diet i need to starts jan 30th before surgery and eating afterwards!!

I have my Surgery Class, Meeting with Director of Bariatric Program at Hospital, Ultrasound and labs on January 22nd and then my psych eval on January 29th here at my local clinic. I think that counts as my FIFTH month so February would be my sixth month....so now I'm thinking I probably won't have surgery until March. But, here's hoping!!!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
