I'm July 17th and getting very nervous. Starting to second guess this decision. Anyone able to offer some reassurance. Pros and cons Not getting a lot of support at home. Really feeling unsure.

I'm July 17th also. I was extremely concerned as well, to the extent that I contacted the NUT and told her I was having second thoughts. But I had a break through while watching the TV show "Smile" (it's a show that gives people with atrocious teeth free, dramatic dental rehab). It hit me all the negative consequences I've suffered because of obesity: I can't really date, I'm not perceived as attractive, I can't dress the way I'd like, my physical pain is the worst it's ever been, people make extremely hurtful, humiliating comments... Obesity has so many consequences for that I have to find a method to improve my quality of life, and diets have not been able to do that for me. This is my best shot, IMHO, even I fail I'll know I've exhausted all options...

Yay my first 17th buddy. I know we can do this. Although nervous and concerned about the unknown. I think we will both come out with flying colors. He's to a new lease on life attitude, wardrobe, health , energy. Cheers to us.

Hello everyone! My surgery was recently scheduled for July 31st @ 10am with 8am admission. Johns Creek, GA. I'm very excited and not quite nervous yet. Pre-op appointment is on the 22nd. I'm new to the site and omg, there's so much to read here, I love it.

Making it brief for the moment. Need to go work on my story and other good stuff to share with everyone. I'll let you be for now. My best wishes for all of you so close to your surgery date, those still days and weeks on countdown, and those who have crossed over to the new beginning of healthier life!

Ciao,

Shinnystar :)

We can all be buddies. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 17th also. Just started my pre-op diet today. Not loving it :-( Got a headache from caffeine & carb withdrawal, but I know it will be better in a day or so. At least that what everyone tells me. Hope it's true!

      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.
