My surgery is also on Jan 5th! I too am quite nervous, but I keep telling myself how worth it this surgery will be when I start seeing results and feeling healthier.

My 3-week pre-op diet got easier every day, but it was VERY hard at first!

We are starting the new year off on the right foot! :)

Woohoo you're my op twin!

Interesting that most of us are on different diet schedules. I know my hospital says 2 weeks for everyone.

Which procedure are you having done?

I'm having RNY! I hope everything goes smoothly.
Thank you! I hope so too! I shall give you the low down (hopefully without any horror stories!) ;)
How are doing?

Finally getting out of the hospital today! I had really horrible nausea and vomiting for the first two days, most likely from the anesthetic. Also some pretty bad pain. I didn't pass gas for the first time until today, so my body still feels like it's full of air. I am feeling better slowly, but the surgery was a lot tougher on me than I expected. I still feel really weak and have trouble walking. :( Hoping this will all be worth it eventually!

I know that's how it's supposed to work, and people keep saying that, but it's so hard to get my head around the idea. I can't even imagine it!

Thanks for the encouragement! This morning really sucks, and I know it will get worse before it gets better, so your kind words really help.

My surgery is the 23rd! I'm about to start the pre-op liquid diet. It sounds brutal. Any suggestions?

Mine is the same day! Luckily I only have to do 3 days, but it definitely is a mind game.

Yes, things have definitely improved! Thanks! How are you?

I'm feeling like myself again. Only some minor pain left here and there. My strength is back, which is great!

Glad to hear you are 'like yourself' again! :)

I am mostly fine. Still the odd annoying bit but fine all in all. Woke with indigestion so had a bit of a yukky day today but it was the first time I've had indigestion. Then tried a scrambled egg for my first 'proper' food post surgery and it made me sick. I will not be trying that again anytime soon!

Apart from that I think I've lost about 30lbs in 2 weeks so I guess all is going to plan :)

Yes! As soon as I hit the POST button I realised that I had not included that.... I think it works out as about 15 pre op and 15 post op. Still feel a bit swollen around my midsection - an odd feeling like being pregnant...

Do you get the same or are you all healed and back to normal?

30 pounds! Wow! Including pre-op diet?

Which op did you have and how are you feeling now? :)

My surgery was January 11th :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
