I am from Portland Oregon by the way. My surgery is Thursday February 5th and I have nothing prepared. The only thing I have is my boost for my 2 week liquid diet. I actually started a week early and I went to see my surgeon last Friday and I've lost 13 pounds since starting the boost. Now this is week 2 & I am on a roll not looking back

Chicago Illinois here....my date is February 24th. Just got it 10 minutes ago. And it can't come fast enough, I have a Lap Band in there that has slipped, and it HURTS....I've been in pain and puking for 3 years now, and I can't wait for it to be taken out!!! I should have had a GB to begin with! Good Luck everyone!!

Got my date! February 16th. I started liquid diet with the hope that I'd go on Feb 9th. Soooo... Should I keep going or eat solids? I feel like mentally, I'm in a good place and it makes me think that I should keep going.

why not keep going. I did an extra week just to mentally prepare and push myself. You can do it girl

I have my pre-op appointment the day before my surgery. It makes me nervous that something is going to go wrong that day and my surgery will have to be pushed back when it's so close. I've been doing all that I am supposed to be doing but there is still that irrational fear that something will go wrong. Do you guys feel like that sometimes too?

I do Amber...I worry that they will find something last minute and say oh well we are sorry but we can't do your surgery. After six months of working towards it surgery day kind of feels like waiting for christmas lol.

I'm glad to know others get that feeling too. It's a week away and I am slowly starting to get nervous/panic. I'm so excited I just want this to happen so badly!! My fiance is having the sugery two weeks after mine. It's relieving to know that he will be going through this with me. Our grocery bill will be so less expensive!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
