My surgery is May 22nd I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I've been waiting months for this surgery. My original date was march 17 but my thyroid levels were not stable enough to clear me. Now I just pray that when I enter the hospital and they do labs everything is good.

I'm May 24th for correction; removal of the lap band and switching to gastric sleeve. Super excited! Having gone through the pre and post op before, it's not that bad, makes prepping for the work lunch easy.

I'm officially on the loses bench! Got sleeved on Wed, came home from hospital the next day around 5pm.

I had a few setbacks when I was in the hospital that revolved around the pain medicine. No matter what they gave me I would start throwing up even if they gave me anti-nausea meds, so I haven't had pain medicine in about 24 hours.

I'm trying to power through without the pain meds because I want to be able to keep my liquids down which I wasn't able to do when I kept gagging.

Getting liquids in is a chore, but I'm making myself do it. Same with getting up and walking around the house.

I've never felt this tired. I can't sleep more than 2 hrs at a time, so I'm sure that's part of the problem.

I'm trying not to let the pain keep me down, I know it's only temporary.

Good luck fellow May sleevers!

Wednesday is the day....everything is a go. I'm getting nervous...but I am so ready to make this life change. I love my Dr....and the staff that have helped bring me to now. I find it comforting to know they will be with me through the entire journey and beyond....and will follow me for years. Praying it all goes smoothly.

Thank you fellow May sleevers for the encouragement and sharing your issues and successes. It really helps.

2 1/2 weeks out. Still on full liquids. Getting all my Protein and fluids. scale hasn't moved in over a week. Actually, it's gone up and down, up and down. Half regretting this right now. Only reason I'm not fully regretting it is my blood sugars are completely normal without medication. So there's that. Which is what I said I'd be happy with, only I'm not. I knew I'd lose less because I was a lower weight, but this is ridiculous. 6lbs since surgery.

Sigh, I know my body is healing. This was my fear though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
