I had mine 3/10. I kept mine on the down low for the same reason.
I'm still on liquids and getting bummed out. This has been the hardest thing I've ever done.

Mine is 4/17, what is the hardest part for you?

Hello, I'm new here and just looking to make some friends who are on a similar timeline. My surgery is scheduled for 3/28/17. I'm starting to get nervous []
About me: I live in the greater Cincinnati area on a 200 acre farm with my husband and our 5 dogs, 7 cats, 2 horses, and many cows and chickens. I am 34 years old and suffer from generalized anxiety and depression, and some social anxiety. I am an introverted person, so making friends online is easier. I love riding my horses, being outside, music, watching sports, and reading. After surgery I hope to get back into running, weight lifting, and hiking. I am an open-minded and sensitive person.
My biggest fear currently is that I will have the surgery and still manage to fail by regaining weight or not losing. I've struggled with my weight on and off since my teens.
Looking forward to sharing the journey!



Hi SarakNKY,

My surgery is scheduled for the 30th, I started my preoperative diet a few days ago, the first 2 days were difficult, but seems to be getting a little better! How's your preoperative diet going?
I'm actually from Ohio, but currently live in Texas.
I know this is is a difficult journey ahead of us, but we have to stay positive and not allow our past failures to determine or prevent our future successes! I look forward to sharing the journey ahead as well!

I am scheduled for the 28th also. My original date was 3/16, but I caught a bad cold and the doctor's office wasn't comfortable doing the surgery while I was sick. It was so discouraging as I had already done the two weeks of liquid diet, and it was cancelled the day before. Now I'm back on liquids and anticipating surgery on Tuesday. I would love to be connected with others who are having their surgery around the same time.

I had the chance to pick 3/28 but I chose 3/30 because it was closer to the weekend and less days of work for my hubby to miss. Now I am wishing I had chosen 3/28 LOL The wait is just so hard. I am sooooo ready to be on my way to saying goodbye to obesity. I just have to keep myself busy this week I guess.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
