Hey all! Just took my first shower with the Hibiclens. It's so real now. Getting up at 4am to be to the hospital by 5am. Surgery 8:15 am. So happy to know so many are going through what I will be going through. It's reassuring and encouraging. Sending love to all ~Angie

Sounds like you are doing well!

How's it going Jen! I'm feeling better each day. Not really even struggling to get my liquids or shakes in. Tomorrow moving on from all liquid to adding some yogurt.

Surgery scheduled for 5/23. Pre-op diet officially starts tomorrow, but I started it last week. I had a few off-plan meals over this past weekend, plus some wine, but I'm back on track today. It just stinks to have to go through the rough first few days again.

I started it today. So far it's ok. I have issues at night though. Started practicing chewing my food thoroughly. Weaning off caffeine too. It'll all be worth it in the end!

I had mine May 1st! I also had a Hiatal hernia repaired while the surgeon was in there. It's been tough. I'm a business owner and have really never felt the level of dibilitation as I do now. Each day gets better, but mentally has broken me down. I've still been trying to walk about two miles a day and get my Water and Protein intake. Yesterday was not a good day. I have just heard the first 2 months are hard, then it's smooth sailing!!! How are you doing??

You had surgery one week ago and are walking 2 miles a day! That is awesome!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
