I'm scheduled for My 19th too! I also have a 4 hr appointment on May 4th and start my pre-op the next day. Not liquids but all high Protein low carb from the store inside my surgeons clinic. In Grand Rapids, Mi with Dr. Paul Kemmerer! I'M SOOOO excited! How are people prepping at home? I feel like I should be nesting like before I had my daughter. So far all I've done is separate clothes in my closet to what I'm wearing now vs. some smaller items from years past that might fit when I return to work. I'm a nurse manager and have to dress up for work-excited for new clothes but not looking forward to the cost of constantly changing wardrobes.

My Dr suggested buying kiddie spoons, forks, plates and a sippie cup. I felt a little awkward buying them since my youngest child is 16...Haha I have never been a shopper, so the idea of buying all new clothes doesn't appeal to me. Maybe that will change when I get to buy smaller clothes. On the 11th I go to the hospital for a full day of pre op testing. I think that's when it will finally hit me that this is going to happen!!!!

I have not. When I go to my 4 hour NUT class on Tuesday I will leave with a 1 month supply of supplements. This is one thing included in our 350 dollar program fee

I had my pre-surgical class with the RN and nut last week so I bought mine. I ordered a chewable Multivitamin and several different types of Protein Powder to try. I ordered Calcium supplements as well. I have Biotin and Vitamin D at home already. I also ordered a Blender Bottle that the nut recommended for Protein Shakes.< /p>

Anyone else feel like this is going to be the longest week of your life?! I tried to really fill my work calendar to keep me occupied and so I won't be too behind when I get back to work but I feel like time is moving in slow motion!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
