I had to move my 1st meeting with the Dr until after the 1st of the year. But since I am self pay, I am hoping to have it in Feb.

I turn 40 in June and would love to have it done before then. However, Jan, March and April are tough months at work for time off.

Mine will probably be in late January or early February. I just found out I have sleep apnea and Kaiser requires that I use a cpap for 2 months. I go today to pick mine up but I'm only 16 pounds from my surgery weight so I

could potentially have my surgery sooner! Yay. Excited and nervous!

Took my before picture yesterday! attachicon.gif Beforevsg.jpg

Yay! How is the pre-op diet going for you? I am going to take my before photos as well!
So far so good. I am trying to stomach 2 shakes a day and one meal, but working my way to that. Instead I do one shake, one Protein rich snack and then a Protein rich dinner. I'm finding an easier time that way. Haven't cut caffeine totally but have cut out Coca cola completely and stopped smoking. I'm on day 3 and not feeling unsatisfied and feeling pretty proud of myself. When I weighed at the docs office Thursday I was 428. On my own scale today I was 418! Can't wait to see your before pics And especially your after pics.

I have much more then that to do lol they said it'll be 3-9 months before I get my surgery date because of how my program does things. They said that since u have most of it done that I'm on the fast track but it'll be at least 3 months minimum

Spoke to my Surgeon's office and if I start on my list of "to do's", I can get the surgery in late January.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
