16 hours till I leave for the hospital! I've been on a clear liquid diet today. I've been keeping busy cleaning my house. I'm very nervous, haven't been put under in over 10 years.

Omg!!!! Bestest of luck!!! Everything will be fine stay positive, plus they might drug you a bit for the nervousness. [emoji1417]🤫

@vanwest83 I bet you're in surgery by now, but saying prayers for a smooth and successful surgery and an easy recovery. Can't wait to hear how it went!

Morning everyone! I feel like I need another weekend to get over my weekend! ha! Ok, more waiting for me. Will ask the surgeon for an update when I see her on Thursday. Today is PT again. That place smells SO badly of antiseptic...*sigh*

How are you guys? How are all the people who've already had surgery? Updates anyone??

I second that!!! Wishing you a successful surgery and fast healing!!!

We all need another weekend and a long vacation .. Bahamas or something.
Good luck with your PT hope this one is less stressing (tiring) than the last one.

The ONE THING I would suggest getting (after my hosp experience) is a zip up or snap up mid length or long night gown for post op hospital stay & all the walking!!! It was the only thing I ended up using of all the stuff I packed!!!! Oh and a sports bra which is much more comfy while in bed & when up to walk!! I actually got a pretty cute one at Walmart! Who knew?!!

Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. The hospital just called I’m to report there at 10:30am. I’m so anxious! It’s like when I was a child on Christmas Eve. [emoji847]

      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? 🤷‍♀️
