I am so excited I haven't been able to sleep for most of the week. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. At 930 tomorrow I check-in to have my sleeve!

I haven't told anyone on my job either. My partner and mother are the only ones that know. I don't know about anyine else, but at first I felt like I was doing something to be embarrassed about, but that's not it. This was/is a very deep and personal decision and I didn't want the opinions of other people that had no idea what I was going thru for so many years being obese. There is much confusion on my job as to what I'm doing and it cracks my up! Am I going away for vacation, FMLA🤔🤔🤔

Wow! My dr had me on stage 1(clear liquids) in the hospital the day after surgery. Once I was able to tolerate that he put me on stage 2 puréed foods. I was getting nervous bc I’m not hungry at all I can’t even eat if I wanted to. Having a Hard time swallowing. Still hurts.

Good luck going back to work! I haven’t told anyone in either of our families nor friends. Only my husband and a girl who I met at the classes we had to take beforehand. Just don’t want the judgement nor unwanted opinions that won’t be helpful. I’ll tell some people when I’m healthier and it’s well over, so their opinions won’t matter at that point.

Officially 1 week post-op. Finally on track with liquid and Protein - struggled the first 5 days. Now on full liquids until follow up appointment next week.

Good luck to all those pre-op or in early days - it gets easier! We’ll be here to encourage and share your journey!

Apple and Stevie,

How are y’all doing? The gas pain this morning was pretty bad. The pain meds have been great and I’ve gotten in some good walks.

I’ve had Water, broth and Jello. May be able to go home in the morning.

Hope y’all are doing great!!

Hey I’m doing pretty well. I’ve been five laps through the hallways seven laps equals a mile maybe I’ll get it tonight LOLI’ve been spared nausea but I’ve been getting a little Zofran that may be the reason. Not too sore. My kingdom for a sip of Water.< br>

March 27, for me......very nervous. I have a lap band that twisted and can't wait to get it out, I only lost 35 pounds with it I've had it 7 years. Ugh

I look forward to loosing more weight and getting off sugar and high blood pressure meds.

I hope I can do this.....it's really helping me to read through all these.....thank you all.

Wishing you the best with your surgery. I’m also on 3/27/18, I also have a lapband and I’m being told that if there’s too much scar tissue when they remove it. My sleeve surgery will have to wait a few weeks. I’m so glad to be in this great group too, everyone is so helpful and informative.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
