Just a few days away from staring my pre-op diet. Surgery is scheduled for Feb 16th! I think I'm more paranoid about the pre-op diet than the actual surgery. I have 2 weeks of eating a specific products purchased from our Bariatric Dept. There is a wide variety and I'm sure it will be fine BUT.... If I don't lose weight they cancel the surgery.. In writing this I see how silly it sounds but I can't seem to shake the feeling! Could use some prayers!!

I was scheduled for the 11th but they're saying they want to postpone because I didn't lose enough weight in between appointments. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I cried on the phone with my surgeon. He said he didn't expect me to be upset but I honestly don't know what else he did expect.

Just feeling discouraged..

They didn't give specifics.. They don't think I have the right attitude apparently which I strongly disagree with. There's a lot to the story but it's hard. I'm a teacher so it was planned for feb vacation. Now at the earliest it would be April.

I am sorry to hear that. Don't be discouraged. Take it as a challenged. My op was postponed twice cos the theatre was fully booked and the doctor was away at a conference!! Doc even asked me if I was upset!!!!! Told me the postponement means I can enjoy my Christmas!!! OK!!!!??????? NOT. Anyway after all that my op will be done on Feb 2. It will happen my dear just don't be discouraged. Push on... Have hope.

A shout out to all of us getting re-birthed in Febuary! I am a 45 year old mom, 4ft 10" weighing in at 155. I have a BMI of 33, and deal with health issues like High Blood pressure and sleep apnea. So I am headed to Tajuana, Mexico on the 5th. Getting sleeved with A Lighter Me. So far very impressed with the structure of the company.

That's great. Congrats on making the decision. Good luck with preparing now, I have surgery today and I can tell you, the last month was a lot of mental and physical prep I believe to have me in a calm place this morning.

Really excited for you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
