Omg my pre op is tomorrow morning. This just got really real!!! I have been pounding down the Water to pump up these tiny veins. Everyone say a little prayer that they don't have to stick me half a dozen times! I swear the thing that scares me most about this surgery are all these dang needles!!!

Welcome @@jolms , @@kiwi201000 , and @@Missy2new . This is the most supportive group! @@CHLOE12 I am going to be sending you tons of positive thoughts. I could not imagine doing this without support at home. Do you have people that live close that could come help you?

@@CHLOE12 I'm single, I live alone in Chicago where I take crowded buses and trains everyday, I love to go out to dinner and drinks. Every once in awhile, I freak out and think what if someone bumps my belly on the train and hurts my pouch?!? Silly things like that make me think WHAT AM I DOING?!? But then I remember how unhappy and unhealthy my weight has made me. We can do this!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
