T-minus 2 weeks before surgery!



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting it seems like forever, the last 4 years to have this surgery. Everytime I was close something would happen i.e. changing of insurance and would have to start over. This time I have been waiting since April of last year and I am finally 2 weeks away from having gastric bypass!!! Yay for me!!! I am currently on a liquid diet that my physician put me on and I've already lost 10 pounds in 2 days. Which I'm sure was Water weight but hey its a loss. I want to lose 187 pounds!!! That's a person and a half!! So glad I'm finally at this stage and it won't be long before I start shedding the pounds with the bypass and exercise. I'm just so excited. Ready to begin this new life and see where it takes me!!! I'm a registered nurse so I know that the loss will help me tremendously for my career. How is everyone else doing with thier liquid diet, if u have to be on one. Tell me how excited you are for surgery!!! I can't wait

      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? 🤷‍♀️
