My surgery is April 21 and I'm getting so nervous and scared!! This 5 day pre op can be somewhat annoying but gotta get it done!!

My doctor only has me doing a one day. I was prepared for a week but so glad it's not. Good luck, you got this! What time is your surgery Tuesday? I've got to be there at 6:30.

I am wishing all of you headed in to surgery the best of luck. Milk this thing. Love your nursers and aides. They are there to help you. It will all go much more happily if you connect with them, talk with them and get to know them the best you can. Tell them how much you appreciate them. They are the midwives of your rebirth. Be VERY grateful.

Time goes by slowly during your recovery. Not all will be pleasant, but it will pass, and the good stuff will show up day by day. The pain is only temporary and manageable. Write a love letter to yourself before you go, so you can read it when you come home.

Be brave and confident and cheerful. This is going to be great! I am already too small for my clothes. It hasn't been even 2 weeks yet. OMG!

I am right there with you Michelle! I have 7.5 hours until I have to be at the hospital. I am not nervous at all and don't feel like I will be, but...you never know! Good luck to you and all others who have surgery this week!

      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.
