In less than 48 hours, I'll have gone under the trocar, as it were.

So excited and nervous and looking forward to never having Jell-O again as long as I live.

Today's the day!!!! Four hours until my sleeve surgery. I didn't sleep worth a hoot. Awake every hour, but I think that's probably expected. Developed laryngitis since Sunday night. Nurse said it won't be a problem. Praying my doctor is of the same thinking. My throat is already sore. The breathing tube will probably add to that soreness.

Question: Did everyone have someone with them after they returned from the hospital? Is it a necessity?

Good luck!! I'll say a prayer for you. The breathing tube will make it worse, but only for a couple days. It's not too bad once you can start sipping on Water. And yes, I'm married and so my husband was home with me. My mom stayed too to help. You don't HAVE to have someone, but it's best if you can because if you're too sore to get up and get things, they're there for you. Although you definitely need to get up and walk! :) and you also shouldn't bend over. So if you drop something, they can get it for you. But if you'll be alone, I'll sure you'll do great! Keep us updated :)

I had by bestie with me for one day and have been on my own since. Better if you do as much for yourself as possible (other than lifting). And walk walk walk... it really makes a difference.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
