Postponed is not the same as never going to happen. You busted your behind for what, you ask? For your health. To change your life. You don't lose that progress just because your surgery is delayed. Try to stay positive, soon you'll be on the other side. :-)

I too was scheduled for this week and postponed. It's frustrating but I truly believe that you'll heal better if you're healthy. I'm assuming they put you on an antibiotic for your tooth? Will your surgeon reschedule now for 2-3 weeks away? The found I have ulcers in my throat and stomach so I'm on meds for 4 weeks and then another endoscopy before they'll operate.

You'll drive yourself nuts if you dwell on the delay. In a year, it won't matter. Just stick to your doctor's diet and you'll be ready for surgery in no time! And hopefully I'll be right after!

That's unfortunate, but you busted your butt to get you where you're going. Just because it isn't happening tomorrow, doesn't mean it isn't ever happening. Keep on track with what you have been doing its all worth it, get use to those habits now so you won't have a hard transition. You got this!

A tooth infection can be very dangerous. Even cause death. I have seen it in the ER. So 10 days of antibiotics. Then a dentist to fix it and you will be back on track! Trust me you don't want to mess with a infected tooth! Keep your head up! They did the best thing for you. You got this!

Keep 'busting' your behind until you get your date. It’s certainly not wasted, being delayed isn't being denied although I can fully understand your disappointment. Keep focusing on the big prize!! Best of luck and hope you feel better soon.

I understand how you're feeling. I started this journey back in March. I'm scheduled for surgery a month from today. However, last week I started having issues with my heart racing and irregular heart beats. I go on Thursday for my echocardiogram and to get my holter monitor. I will meet with my surgeon on the 29th to discuss my results and if surgery needs to be postponed. I know I need to go into surgery healthy but the thought of having to wait longer is very disappointing. Hang in there. It will happen when the time is right. Hope all goes well at the dentist.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
