Mine is on the 21st Jan... and I am freaking out a little bit. I am meant to be on a diet now... 2 shakes a day plus one meal... but I am pre menstrual and a little anxious.. and finding that I am eating with little control. I feel very very ashamed!!! :blush:

I'm scheduled for January 25th. Wednesday is my EGD and blood work, and I start my liquid diet (with the NUT) a week from today. I'm starting to get nervous, too!

i am the 27th! have my NUT class and final appt with the surgeon on wednesday the 20th. that is also the day i start my liquid pre op diet.

i am not nervous about being put to sleep or the surgery really but i am getting myself worked up about having my drain removed. that just doesnt sound fun at all. luckily i will have it removed the morning after surgery then i can go home! whoo hoo for outpatient. i am also a little nervous about 30 days of having to give myself blood thinner injections. :( i hear they are tiny little needles though so I'm sure i will get used to it after a day or so. anything you all are especially nervous about?

My dr. doesn't do drains - luckily you don't have to go home with it.

I'm just worried about lifting my 15 month old baby girl post-op. She loves for me to pick her up and I can't imagine her face when I tell her I can't. Luckily my husband will be off so he can out her in my arms but still...that's pretty much it.

My surgery date is 20th Jan. Had a few very anxious days last week but thankfully am feeling calmer now. Just need to succeed at this. As all my attempts at weight loss before have not ended well I sometimes wonder will I succeed with this. Scared to imagine what it would be like to be a healthy weight! Less than 48 hours now to surgery!

How is the liquid diet going for everyone? I feel light headed and very weak :(

I'm a little weak but my stomach is really achy! I'm used to these shakes so I don't know what it could be. Going to drink a ginormous cup of Water and go to bed. Nite y'all! One day down...

I had NO energy to start the day with. It got better as the day progressed. I am also on two Meal Replacement bars, not liquid only though...

Aww. I feel the same way about my 18 month old little girl. I'm going to have her climb up on the couch to sit with me since she loves climbing anyways.

My surgery is on the 28th!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
