Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

My Bariatric doc doesn't require a pre-op diet.

Amberc425, you mention the no smoking 8 weeks pre-op. I found out last week that my doctor turned down two patients because they smoked and weren't planning on quitting after surgery. Tough love I guess.

I'm so glad I quit, it's been 13 years on Sept 17th. My surgery is set for Sept 16th, so I'll have two anniversaries to Celebrate in the coming years.

When is your surgery set for?

My surgery is on Sept 4th at 2pm with check in at noon. I can't wait!

Is it me or did all of this seem to ramp up a notch when you got your date? It is almost like I am in nesting mode again. Yesterday I trimmed the shrubs, cleaned house and was in a square things away mode. I got a lot done and managed to burn some calories at the same time. It just finally feels like I am making progress. Up until I received my approval and date, I had invested 9 months of hoops and waiting. It feels good to have a date to work toward.

I agree, I'm gonna be straightening the house today, going to costco to get my Protein, and to the grocery store to get my broths, Jello, etc. I think it's a normal thing to want things in order before embarking on something this big. Imagine coming home from surgery to a messy home, I imagine that would escalate one's level of stress lol. I've watched a lot of videos and the people that seemed to be most successful with the surgery were those that were organized.

I got my date!!! September 30th!!!!

I'm super excited but also pretty terrified!

I'd love to find a "Sleeve Buddy" who's having their surgery around the same time so that we can kind of go thru the pre & post surgery together!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
