I was approved yesterday. I start pre-op liquid diet on 3/12 and surgery is scheduled for 3/26. This is the year of shedding. I lost my mother in December after a horrendous battle with brain cancer. As much as I love her, she added a lot of negativity to my life. I quit "closet smoking" on January 15 - cold turkey. I'm slowly weaning off my psych meds. Now it's time for the physical weight to be shed. This is MY year. Good luck to all!

I got my dates confirmed. March 16 begins my liquid diet, March 17 pre-op and March 30th surgery. OMG, I can't believe the wheels have been set in motion. In a matter of weeks, my life will change for the better.

Hey @@MaryC94 I start my liquid diet also on the 16th and my surgery is the 30th as well. I finally found someone on here with the same date as me. Have skinny dreams I have.

Hi @@sassycas45, how ironic! I was just thinking I don't have a surgery buddy, like I've been seeing on the forums. This is great that we have the same dates and same goals. What are you doing to prepare?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
