I finally have a date! I feel like I'm being swept off my feet. I keep hearing the date over and over in my ears. I cant believe a year ago, I didn't even know there was such a cure, and here I am about to start living the healthy life I deserve. Its becoming real and I absolutely can not wait. I only know a few people who have gone through this, but I would welcome any comments or support!

Mine is Feb 1st, Ive been working so much that I havent had a whole lot of time to sit down and process it. It hit me hard last week and I couldn't sleep because my brain would not shut off due to upcoming surgery. Thank goodness I have an awesome primary doctor who got me in and helped me get some rest. 10 day count down had begun!

Forgive me if this is my second post, new here and trying to figure it out. My surgery is 2/1 as well. I can't believe its almost here, I would like to keep in touch during the process. Tomorrow starts Clear liquids which Im not looking forward to but it will be worth it.

Day 5

Getting getting pretty tired of liquids... everything's is becoming to sweet two more days and my world opens up to pudding, yogurt, creamy Soups ( no down 8 lbs! meal... woohoo!

Last two nights I

Cooked dinner for my husband... (not that I had to) I wanted to - to test myself to the max now.... and expose myself to food temptation big time! (Cause Ya can't cheat or You can harm your new little pouch! ...(possible end up in the hospital! ) I have got to change the way I look at food...my picking and mindlessly eating...to rid myself of my old habits!!!!

I can't believe how many times I "WOULD " of put food in my mouth.. while cooking dinner! It's was an eye opener to me! Taste here.. a pinch there!

I think each week will be a journey of what works and what doesn't fit me!

....till tomorrow!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
