I am scheduled for June 8th and my emotions too have been all over the place. It really became real to me on Friday after I had the IVC filter procedure. Wishing all sleeves the best and a speedy recovery.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is an IVC filter? I am having surgery June 8th too ( it is tomorrow!!) and I am curious what that is....

Thanks and good luck my sleeve sister!

I start my 2 week pre op diet tomorrow! I've never been so excited to start a diet in my life lol. Starting the diet makes it feel so official to me. I got approved for my June 22 surgery back in April. So it's been a long wait and now it's finally happening.

Only 3 more days until my big day! Getting a little nervous. So many things are going through my mind right now. And to top it all off I have gotten a runny nose one minute and stuffed up the next???? need to shake it off before the 11th.

That's how I felt too! So, I was surprised when the first two days weren't as pleasant as I expected. It's getting better, though. Keep us posted.

      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.
