I'm new to this site - been lurking a bit and reading as much as I can about what I can expect both before and after surgery. I'm feeling anxious but excited. It felt like this day would never come. After making the decision to go ahead with Gastric Bypass back in August, I learned I needed to do 3 months of medically supervised weight loss. Those months flew by and, in hindsight, I think they will make me more successful after surgery - although I certainly didn't think so at the time. I went from my highest weight ever of 296 down to 258 during my MSWL. I'm really hoping for no complications tomorrow. I'm having a hernia repair at the same time. Looking forward to not having acid reflux or heartburn anymore:) I hope to be able to post again soon with a really great surgery story.

The best of luck tomorrow. I am exactly 2 weeks post op. The number one advise I can offer you is to get up and walk as soon as you are able to do so. It will help tremendously with gas pain, cause for surgery you know they fill your belly with gas. So with that being said, Good Luck, I wish you a speedy recovery :)

      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.
