Recommended Posts

So I paid for my surgery and hospital fee! Omg this just got real! My surgery is set for Monday 11am but have to be there @8! I've been super emotional and praying everything will go great! I have so much to live for! My son, my family, & accomplishing my dreams! I know this is for me and my future! This is life changing! I'm nervous, scared, excited, & trying to stay positive!

I keep thinking of how amazing my life and health will be after its al done. Best of luck to everyone!

I think it's natural to be a little scared. I mean this is a big deal! There's no going back once it's done and that is exactly why I am doing it. I'd rather not go back to this miserable state I'm in now. I thought about this when I was in my 20's and backed out because mentally I wasn't "there" yet, but God, I wish I could have been "there" and done it, because I would be so much healthier now if I had. No one can tell you when the right time

is, but I will tell you that I've lost valuable years I can never get back being stuck in this fat suit unable to do what I want because I was too afraid. I'm not afraid now (yet anyway) although I did have heart palpitations the moment they said 90 day pre operative routine instead of 6 months physician supervised diet.

      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.
