Anyone Else Having Surgery Monday 2/20?



Recommended Posts

I was thinking to create this thread for those having surgery on Monday. Perhaps we could share our Gastric Sleeve Journey together as our own 'group' by posting to this thread.

My surgery time is 9:45a EST in NJ and I'm ready!

My surgeon only requires one day Clear liquids prior to surgery and I just ate my last 'normal' meal so here I go...

Tomorrow is the date for me!! Have to be at a the hospital at 8am for a 10am surgery. I've been on all liquids today. Relaxing a bit now.

i am excited but still quite nervous and anxious.

I brought my son to a friend's house so he is being watched while I'm at the hospital. When I said goodbye to him, and said "I love you", i had to leave right then as tears starting flowing. I think the thought of something happening to me and him not having his mom overcame my thoughts. I'm having this surgery for my health so I can live longer for him. I know chances are rare that something happens, so there's just negative guy on my shoulder...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
