Was not totally compliant with pre-op diet. Now I have to go weigh in and see if I can still have sleeve done Wednesday. I pray I can. If I can't do it now, I don't think another week will help. I've waited so long. I'm scared to fail.

Don't even think of the possibility of failure! You can do this! And YOU will succeed!!

Well. I'm on day 10 of liver shrinking. The proverbial half way point. I've been pretty good. Only cheat i had was about 2 kernels of popcorn at the cinema stolen from a mate (i had a tub of blackberries from my allowances and a bottle of sparkling Water as my movie snack) and a postage stamp sized piece of potato bread.< /p>

All in all I have been a good boy so far and can't see myself deviating too much in the next ten days. Still have to try harder with the Protein Shakes though. Sick to the eye teeth of them now but hey ho.

Anybody else gearing for surgery on the 1st of October? I'd love to find a buddy who is getting "knifed" same day as me! :)

To the journey ahead folks and if anybody has just had theirs done and is reading this in a hospital bed then I command you to smile and then take a little walk in my honour.

To the future

Just wanted to let you know, how much I enjoy reading your posts. You have a wonderful sense of humor! :)

I am approaching the final days of my pre-op diet, and really it wasn't so bad. My surgery is scheduled for this Monday, Sept. 21st, today I have my final visit with surgeon & anesthesiologist. Yay!! :D

Here is to a better, healthier, future for all of us!

      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.
