I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm jittery. I'm sitting here drinking broth at almost 10pm and finishing up some cakes I have due for customers. I was hoping I'd have down time - but will probably not head to bed until 2am or so. I think i'm going to walk to the hospital from the train (8 very long city blocks) - so at least I'll be a bit tired and walk off some nervous energy.

I'm trying to keep the excitement in the forefront of my mind. I had my husband measure me today to compare to the measurements he took in September before my surgery was postponed. I lost 4" from my waist, 3" from my hips, 2" from my shoulders and 2" from my bust. "Eye on the prize". That mantra will get us through. That, and look how many were before us that have shared some AMAZING success stories!!

Good luck everyone. My surgery is at 1pm - so I will check in tomorrow night.

We did it! I had a full day of buyers remorse in the hospital doubting my descision. But I am feeling great now! Sore still and stiff in my back. Sipping constantly! Lol

Hope everyone is recovering comfortably!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
