Mine is on the 29th I start my preop Saturday, am so scared n excited this is all I think about 24/7. There is so much going on in my family right now I feel like this going to be a long and hard road, but am ready somewhat. I know I can't be fully ready for this process even if I tried.

I just keep telling myself imagine yourself a year from now you won't be here, you won't feel unhealthy you won't feel this joint pain you are in all the time. Is the little things that keeps me going as scared I am about this change in my life as unready I feel, I know the only thing that can go wrong from here on is a better faster happier me. And for that I have already proved I am willing to do anything by making this choice.

Good luck to all you brave souls, lets do this!!! ????????

Sorry about those Spartans, at least you got more important things on the horizon.

That was heart breaking. I am happy that most of March Madness is happening while I am off work recovering. Then my team gets bounced in the first round when they are one of the favorites to win a national championship!!! Argh.

Oh well, I have more important things to focus on, and I still enjoy the tourney. Next year. There is always next year.

Day 4 of the liquid diet. Much easier than I expected. I've discovered that I really, really like broth now considering it actually smells and tastes like food. Plus, I'm down 7 lbs! Can't tell you how long it's been since the scale has actually moved down. 48 hours from now I will be in pre-op. Right now I'm trying to stay busy cleaning house, doing laundry and doing my best not to let my anxiety build. Somehow, the closer I'm getting to Monday the calmer I'm getting. I really wasn't expecting that. Now let's just hope it stays that way! Good luck everyone getting their Protein on this weekend :rolleyes:

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
