Hi all thanks for your good thoughts! On the other side, pain is manageable, walked/sat once today and about to do it again. Throat sore from the tube but not killer. So far, so good!!

So far we have 66 people on our "October list of Surgeries" topic. I'm sure this number will change as the month goes on. If you haven't found it, it should be somewhere below this topic in Pre-Operation Gastric Bypass Surgery questions & Ans.. Just leave a message there & I will add you. You can leave well wishes to the ones in surgery if you like there also.

We have the best group ever & we all are going to get through this! Can't wait to hear about our success stories! Even @@covarrubia911 you will just be 3 months behind us & still our Oct. family!!!

I had my pre-op yesterday at St. Joes. Words can't describe how happy I am w/ this hospital. I blew out a tire 1 mile before the hospital on a busy highway. It took a while to get my tire changed etc but the pre op dept waited for me ... On a late Friday afternoon when I'm sure they all wanted to get home. The pre op dept was so thorough & organized it took any fears I had right away!! I'm still praying this all comes together, as its my third time trying in 4 years. The nurse sat me down and asked why I was having this surgery as she thought I wasn't 'big enough' and my health conditions weren't so critical. I almost cried... I think my shocked face confused her. A few moments later she came in and hugged me and apologized bc she thought she sounded rude... But she told me she thought I was beautiful and didn't see my weight as I see it on myself. After sharing my story with her we talked a bit and her genuine softness & caring was exactly what I needed to know this was truly what I need to do for myself.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
