Did anyone go through nesting before surgery? You would think I'm bringing a baby home. It's not even noon. I've washed clothes, cleaned bathrooms, cleaned the fridge, washed dishes, washed and deep conditioned my hair, finished prepping my mini fridge... About to mop and vaccum.

I "nested" before my 1st attempt (surgery aborted) because I didn't want to risk getting sick by going out and about. So I stayed home during my 2 week pre-op diet to minimize my exposure to potential germs. I also did some Soup prep and ordered stuff I needed, so that I was prepared.

Now when I go for my 2nd attempt I plan to do the same. Don't want to risk getting sick and delayed further than I already was/am. So I will prep what I can and just relax and stay away from people to reduce my risk exposure.

Good luck @@Womanvsmirror!!

Yes over the past 3 weeks I've been extremely anti-social trying to avoid germs

I have got through a bunch ( BUNCH) of clothes I keep in bins ( previous sizes ) and my closet which has clothes I wear That fits and some that are 10 lbs away that I cannot wear .... I got rid of three full bins of clothes I have always hated but kept hold of because I thought I needed them

And then I washed all clothes from 28, 26 and 24 ( only favorites) and put them in my closet , ready ...... It was awesome . I cannot wait! It was better than thinking about eating or worrying about my 5 yr olds developing cough

I nest literally every month... i did yesterday... i literally clean the house from top to bottom... for me its a hormonal thing... around 2-3 days before I'm due i nest like a crazy person!

I did the samething prior to surgery.. i cleaned the house... organised my filing and paperwork... cleaned up my computer, deleted and filed my inbox... went to the beautician to have everything erm.. groomed hehe... and even gave my family a verbal will. .. i think i went a little overboard though haha..

A couple months ago I went through allllll the clothes I had sized up and out of over the years. Donated a ton, but ended up optimistically setting aside about 3 bags full of favorites that I hope to fit into on my way back down after surgery!

Hello Womanvsmirror, We are Sleeve Sisters!!!! I have surgery on June 1st also! I have been keeping busy but not as busy as you. Doing this liquid diet is pushing me. How are you doing today?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
