Congratulations! I just got my date of November 5th! I'm so nervous and excited ... I tried to start a forum but so far no luck on comments back is there something I'm missing? .......... does anyone know if teas are allowed the first couple weeks after surgery?

Ask your surgeon or your nutritionist. I don't drink coffee, but I am a big Tea junkie. They told me I could have decaffeinated herbal tea in phase 1 after surgery (not too hot)

I'm hoping and praying for a late November date. They told me there are 3 dates left in Nov and I am getting my checklist done much faster than those that they expected to fill those dates...I'm already scheduled for my last two checklist items (Blood work & NUT). I started my pre-op diet 3 days ago, so fingers crossed! Good luck to you all!

I actually went to see the facility and I think it's okay. Might be a little more comfortable if it were more like a U.S. Hospital rather than an outpatient facility with overnight beds. I am less nervous about going than about sharing my choice with other people...my family would go nuts!

Two years ago when I leave Oakes into this I wouldn't have guessed I'd choose Mexico...researched well...even made the site visit to meet the doctor. He is not the cheapest guy down there.

Make that "when I first looked into this"

      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.
