Hello all! It's normal to be nervous. As long as you follow your surgeon and NUT's instructions you will be fine. July 31st is my 1 year anniversary. I've lost 100 pounds. I would like to lose another 10 pounds but I'm happy either way. I feel better and have a lot more confidence. I was out of work for 2 weeks and 3 days. I had gastric sleeve, my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia. The health benefits outweigh the risk. Good luck ladies.

Thank you for sharing. Congrats to you on your 100lb loss! ! That's awesome! Cant beleive they removed your gall blader and fixed hernia...that's alot! I'm nervous about so many things but one of my biggest fears is getting a leak. I have heard a few horror stories. I also want to be able to get all my fluids in those first few days. Everyone says that it's hard at first but that it gets easier as time goes on. Just want to get this weight off already.

It's not going to be a walk in the park but it's well worth and gets easier with time....well somewhat easier. The head hunger and desires kick back in over time. So make sure you start making healthy choices from the beginning. I have been doing combination of Whole 30 and Paleo eating/dieting for the the last month. The more I eat healthy the more I want to and crave healthy foods.

My hospital gave me a ton of the one ounce medicine cups and told me to sip one every 10-15 minutes. I did that for the first 3-4 days but got tired of filling those little things up so started drinking out of a regular cup or bottle. It did help me from drinking too much at one time.

You will do great! Just stick with the plan and start making healthy choices from the beginning. If you see you're picking up bad habits put a stop to them before they get out of control.

Good Luck!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
