I am so sorry i should have said my back fat ran away for a few days. My face is not as plump as it was but I'm happy we all are noticing differences in our body 😎

Problem. The hospital just called me and said that I have to get blood work done tomorrow, asap. When she called, at 6:30 by the way, I was out in the middle of town without a pen and she told me a list of tests I needed. However I don't think that I got the correct name for one of them. Here are the ones she said:
CBC
Complete Metabolic Panel
PTT
Then the one I'm confused about. I thought she said DISS, but I can't find anything. Can you guys provide any help?

Maybe DIC? It came up on google as part of the metabolic panel.

I couldn't find my list. But probably what Sweet said. I would think the hospital or lab would know what to draw for it.

I am wide awake tonight and I have to get up early for work. I keep thinking of more stuff I need to get done before my dh and I head to Mexico on Sunday morning. I ordered a Ninja blender and some Vitamins this past Monday and they arrived today. I am hoping I can make some Protein Shakes that taste better then the ones I have tried thus far.

I hope everyone had a good day. Only three more days to go until surgery day!!

Sure hope you got your sleep in @Apple1 I'm the opposite, I've been waking up at 5am wide awake this past week or so. Wish I would stop doing that. Surgery isn't even on my mind when I wake up. Ugh. Maybe it's subconsciously, I don't know.

You guys made my day i was feeling so happy that i forgot all about what i wrote. I won't let myself down. Thank you we are all in this together. May 15 here we come. Yes i will@Apple1!

I think it's easier leading up to the surgery to question what we are doing.. the last two days I've questioned is it selfish? It's a lot of money I have a family.. what am I putting myself through just to be slim? But what I've realised is as a mother and wife and a person I always put everyone else first. I have low self esteem and I realise this is why I'm questioning.. but it's okay to put ourselves first.. our health and to feel good.. so come Monday I will be on a flight as will you all having surgery.. because we are worth it 😁

It is probably subconsciously like you said. I am a little tired today but that could also be from lack of caffeine lol. I miss my coffee. I hope everyone has a Good Friday!!

Are you having surgery in Mexico also? Can I ask who your surgeon is? Maybe I will see you there.

You are absolutely right. We are worth it!!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
