Tomorrow is surgery day for me and I am all over the place with emotions today. Mostly excitement about the future me, but some fear of the unknown and the pain. Each step along the way has been a significant milestone for me in this journey towards a healthy lifestyle. The hospital should be calling me any time now to give me my time to arrive tomorrow and I am all packed, except my CPAP mask and toiletries.

Today has been the cleanse day with the mag citrate and surprisingly, it has not been as bad as I anticipated. I suspect that is because of the pre-op diet and no solids in my system. It has been 4 hours since I tool the mag citrate and so far, only two trips to the bathroom. :)

My next check in will be post op, whenever I am well enough to post.

@mswonderwoman.. Funny, took my cpap mask and they brought the machine into my room post op, but I didn't use it. I asked them if I had to use it since I wasn't sleeping much. I had too many gadgets on me anyway, one more would have driven me nuts I think. lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
