My surgery date is October 19th. I can't wait for the day to come. I am so sick and tired of being so obese. Also, I suffer from chronic back pain and hauling around all this weight does not help. I have been on the pre-op liquid diet since October 5th and have only lost 5 Lbs. I admit I did a little cheating, such as a slice of cheese and salt on my vegetables. I'm disappointed that I have lost so little. I'm worried that my weight loss post surgery will be slow going.

Is there a group for October surgical candidates?

@@toli @@southbound it sounds like I'm doing something wrong. It's really weird it's in the afternoon I get these crazy slumps. I'm allowed soft foods so each day having 2 eggs, 1/2 tub cottage cheese and 1 of my 15g Protein shake. Then lots of Water. So I'm

not hitting 50g Protein. Are you guys managing 50g ?

I am not starting soft foods until later this week. I'm doing cream Soups or homemade Soups (mother in law made me a "bone soup" - supposedly has a good amount of protein). I've been getting most of my protein in from the shakes though. I use Premier Protein.

Quick question - have any of you heard of the Lovenox shot? Is this something that will be required prior to surgery? I've heard about this shot but not sure if it's mandatory for all sleevers.

I'm not sure if I had a Lovenox shot before surgery or during, but definitely had one the day after. It is to prevent blood clots. It didn't even hurt. They give it in your stomach.

I have a gene mutation that makes me more likely to have clotting issues so yes, I've heard of it.

I will have to continue after surgery for two weeks giving myself injections. As the last poster said, they are given in your belly and they don't hurt at all.

Unless they are worried about you having a clot, you probably will only get the shots in the hospital.

I had the lovenox every 12 hours after surgery for 3 doses didn't hurt when then inject it low on your belly, one nurse shot me right below my drain which is up higher and I was not happy with it so make sure they go low!!!! It's a blood thinner so you don't get a clot, I don't have a blood disorder and have never had a blood clot so I'm guessing it was preventative.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
