One more day! Mine is tomorrow first thing. I have to be at the hospital at 6:00 am. At first it felt like the day would never get here and now I’m a little freaked out going oh my gosh it’s tomorrow.

Excited for you and all us with surgery coming up this month. Good luck to all and can't wait to see the progress for health and to just look good in my clothes the way I want to look. Oct 25th can't get here soon enough. There are going to be challenging days, but we got this.

My surgery got moved to 10/23, a day earlier than originally scheduled. My pre-op education class is on the 10th and will start liquids on the 16th. Holy moly!! It's getting real!

Best of luck to all of us moving to the post op side this month!!

Not October but is 5 days ago close enough???

I had my sleeve surgery 9/26/17. So I am on my post op liquids. Aside from the first night......surgery is going fine. And I feel better each day. No appetite, a little hard getting my Protein and liquids down. But it's getting better.

Same here for me!!! I am a bit anxious but very ready to do this. Did you do a liver shrinking diet? I had to for two weeks. [emoji55]

So I am finishing up day 5 of Clear Liquids only... I wanna eat food so bad [emoji31] My diet only allows Protein Drinks, broth, sf drinks, sf popsicles, and sf Jello. What I've found is that it's ALL in the mind for me... my stomach isn't hungry (really!) but mentally, I'm craving everything under the sun. 9 days to go! Omg




I feel ya. I’m on day 5 too. Same diet as well. I’m want to eat so bad but I’m not really hungry. I think it’s just a mental thing of chewing. Seeing others eat doesn’t help...

I did a 5 day pre-op, it was the hardest part of my journey. I don't want eat much now because of the pain of being only 5days post op, if I drink too fast or too much it hurts!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
