Valentina.. Thank you for the awesome, encouraging post!! I'm waiting for my insurance approval and then I will continue the next steps. I'm on here reading all the time and your words were so uplifting! Thank you again for using your journey to help someone else along..

I thank YOU for your words---on you first post. I am humbled that my words are able to help.

Believe me, friend, with very few exceptions, I have received far more support from the members on BP than I can ever repay.

I truly believe that not everyone's WLS journey is going to be "all sunshine and rainbows". My thinking is that if I can turn my journey around and be successful, I have a moral obligation to simply "pay it forward".

Thank you again for your kind words.

My prayers are with you. You will be fine. You must be a strong willed person just to make the decision to have sleeve surgery. Now you are so close, Stay strong.

I was a mess before surgery. I went to Tijuana on top of it all!!!! Very scary. It has beeen 10 months and it still has its emotional, scary moments. I had a hard recovery yet I would do it all over in a heartbeat. You will be fine...be positive, be happy....your new life really begins.

You will be fine....xoxoxox

P.S. The person that is complaining about pre op diet.......you have to embrace this change, as it is mind blowing after surgery if you don't do it now

Do not try to worry to much. Really it will be ok. Focus on your goal. And you will see. In time you will see this as the best thing you done for yourself too. ☺

      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? 🤷‍♀️
