I'm up and outdoors shopping

I feel great.

Slowly Walk walk walk it makes a big difference.

I am scheduled for 12/14 and it's starting to get real. So glad you're doing so well! Makes me hopeful!

Yes tell them right away you have anxiety and you feel panicked and ask if they can give you something to calm down. It's amazing stuff and I promise it wull calm you. I get panic attacks. I love the stuff they give you! They will give it in your IV though so breath and count and be distracted while they get your IV started and then they can put you in zen. If you are scared in the waiting room tell the receptionist what's going. Tell them you feel like you may have a panic attack. They can help you through it. But know that it will go great! It's an incredibly common surgery with extremely rare issues. It's scary yes for you but for the doctor it's easy peasy!!! And even better you are sleeping through the worst of it and then BAM it's over and on to recovery!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
