Congrats everyone!! And good luck!

I requested to join the sleeve may 2017 group.

My blog is fatchocobomom.com - it's a bit of my geeky side, but I've been talking about my wls stuff as well, and linking my vlog. I'm hoping to update more.

I didn't really get any info on a pre-op diet, so I came up with my own, based on what seemed like the norm for everyone else. I'll start tomorrow or Monday, depending if I can get to the store tomorrow or not. >.> While my anxiety is going more and more, I'm doing alright. Had a few break downs, but because of some support issues that are now worked out. Forcing myself to do a pre op is really hard, because my brain says "well, you don't have to! Enjoy this time!" But, I figure I really should, better for my recovery and my mental well being.

And despite feeling so torn on that little aspect, I'm 100% committed to after surgery. I'm getting stocked up- lots of broths, lots of Soups, lots of Protein powders, sugar free jellos and all the little stuff I think will help keep me going.

Still...anyone else just feel like their going to explode before surgery? I'm feeling so many emotions, and I really feel like it's so much at once.

So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?
I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.


My date is May 9, 2017 & I'm so excited!

Thanks! I don't actually start my pre-op liquid diet until April 29th. But I'm ready! I have to use a brand called Bariatric Advantage. It's supposed to keep you full a little longer.

May 2! I have a 1 week low carb pre-op diet starting tomorrow :blush: After approval it just goes SO fast! Approval has been such a rollercoaster ride that I think I had almost come to terms with not having the surgery - so I'm a little nervous but also ready for the life change! I'm thinking I'll do liquid diet the last 3 days of the week just in prep for the surgery as well. Good luck everyone!

I'm scheduled for May 1. I saw a comment about starting a Facebook group - I'd love to join if that happens!

Too clarify, you have gained weight since your initial visit with your surgery? If so, my surgeon told me that I couldn't gain weight from my initial visit, if I did that insurance would deny me. It may be different for different insurances. Have you been approved yet?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
