Won't be able to sleep tonight knowing in just ~9 hours, I'll be going through the first steps of a lifestyle change!! After a year's worth of work, it's an off feeling it's finally drawing to an end.

If it wasn't already obvious to me that I'm stressing with nerves, among other things, I've been having dreams that my teeth are falling out!!

I'm actually very disappointed in myself for the way I've handled my liquid diet for the past 3 weeks that I was recommended to do. Though, I'll say I've drank more than I've eaten, I've cheated more than I can I count on my hands (eggs, Soups with veggies in it, thanksgiving dinner...and leftovers,etc.). I do so knowing life won't be the same after. food has also been a huge comfort for me; college finals, job interview, managing home finances and other mommy/wife duties has proven to be almost too much! I've had numerous surgeries in the past near this weight laparoscopically in the past without fasting or dieting beforehand, so I'm praying hard tonight that I won't be hating myself tomorrow, but only the expected discomfort after the surgery!

I've watched 2 family members have great success with their sleeves throughout this year and can't wait to share in the experience.

Stopping all liquids at 10, then cleaning house and packing for overnight to keep myself busy!! Wish me luck!

Good luck side note I dreamed my teeth were falling out too

I looked up what teeth falling out in dream meant, the result was anxiety, a significant change, a time of transition, and/or knowing you said something you didn't mean to.

Interesting, huh?!

Surgery was perfect! Feeling sore only where the drain is. Get extremely nauseas after I chew ice or morphine. The awesome nurses are giving medicine to help ease the discomfort.

Just walked the halls???? Tired now.

Hard to believe this day has come and almost gone! The pain I am feeling now is only temporary!

Because of the anesthetics, I'm a cry baby too! ????????

      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.
