I was scheduled for 5/31 but couldn't pass my stress test so now I have have a heart cath and stents and put surgery off for a yr. but the blessing is I found out before I had a heart attack. I had started my 10 -day pre-op diet and now on day 7. As of today I've lost a total of 19# 11# have been in the last 7days. I'm going to do this for 30 days then go to modify my food intake to see if I can loose enough. Hw- 325

Hey y'all! I'm in Copperas Cove, Texas. I'm not having the sleeve, but I'm having the RNY. My surgery date is June 21. I'd love to have people to chat with about our WLS lives in Texas!

RNY Is another term for the gastric bypass. I've not heard of a minisleeve? I'm a bit nervous, but more excited actually. I had a total hysterectomy via laparoscope when I was 34 and I remember the pain from that, so I will use that as a baseline. LOL.
My surgery will be in Temple, TX at Baylor, Scott, and White hospital.
I will be occupied from June 1st until June 19th, so I won't be obsessing about surgery day. My daughters are coming to see me from Upstate New York. I haven't seen them since last summer. So, I'll be busy with them.
I know the day before surgery I'll be nervous and won't sleep. My brain will be in overdrive. LOL. Good luck to you with your surgery and recovery.

I've been researching for 2 years now. I personally know 8 different people who have gone and are having great success. So, in 21 days it's my turn!!
I'm going to Dr. Almanza in Tijuana.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
