What a weekend! Took 3 hours to put together my new grill on Saturday, but had some of the best kebobs ever.... chicken breast with 4 different colored bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. We also built a fire in our fire pit for the kiddos to roast marshmallows.... no matter how badly I wanted one, I held back. Honestly, I was having such a good time watching them that I didn't think about it much.

What did everyone else do this weekend?

I have my last nut appointment tomorrow and then have to start getting my tests done within 30 days of surgery. My date is 6/3. I've tried not to lose too much weight within the 6 months because my nut said insurance will not approve you if they see you can do it without the surgery. Going on vacation 2nd week of May and gonna enjoy myself before I have to come home to a liquid diet. Getting nervous every day it gets closer

Ya some people on here told me I had to be losing during my 3 mo preop so I asked my wls place. They said I should be maintaining, if I lose then the insurance will just say ya she can do it without surgery then.

My doctor said I could lose but not gain. Would any of you all be interested in joining if I started a Facebook group? I saw one on here but I messaged her weeks ago to join and never got a reply back. I thought since we were all within a couple months that I might start one for us. Let me know if you are interested.

I would be interested, but I need to join it if it's a "secret group," I think. People can see what the group is if it's Closed. Or maybe name it something that doesn't sound Bariatric-ish...??

Not sure if that makes sense?

I was going to make it secret because I have seen where some people arent telling people about their surgery. I was going to make it secret and people can message me their email address so I can add them. I need at least one person so I can start it though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
