I'm getting the RNY - but yes! It seems like so far away, but I know it will come up fast.

Hey, checkmeowt, I am July 15 too! Very cool to know that someone is going through what I am and will have the procedure done the same day. It will be interesting to see how our hospital adventures compare! I am also having RNY. I am meeting with my nut on June 30, and will begin my pre-op diet on July 1. From what I understand, I will be doing a combination of shakes, bars and 1 small meal a day. They sent me a sample of each bar and shake in advance to try so that I can bring my order with me on the 30th and get my supply. Looking forward to keeping in touch! Good luck!! :D

I'm July 13th. ???? I start a 3 day clear liquid diet on July 10th...I have no idea how I'm going to get through that! 3 weeks feels like tomorrow and forever away.

How is everyone dealing with family and friends?

Mine are sort of supportive...they do keep saying things like, "are you sure you really need it?" And loooong angry sighs whenever it comes up - I don't even bring it up! It's stressful but I pretend it doesn't bother me. I just feel like sometimes I'm all alone in this, and others are waiting to say I told you so. Frustrating.

Whatever they feel - I know this is what I need to do. And I hope they'll see the good once my weight starts to go down.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
