And May is such a pretty month! You'll be able to do your exercising in the sunlight on green grass with flowers all around. And summer will be easier because you're not as big as you were last year. Good times and good things ahead, my friends![emoji14][emoji304][emoji13]

Hi May sleeves,

We are literally halfway through the April and our surgeries are looming. Anyone have any new experiences/fears/updates to share?

I haven' started my preop diet and I just went through a phase where I wanted to eat everything in sight....because I know after I start my preop....there will be no more of that...surgery date 5/11/18

Hi! I am May 14 and feeling incredibly excited! My pre-op diet is only 2 days (sat+sun before Monday surgery) but lately I’ve considered following others and doing a 1 or 2 week liquids plan? I’m terrified my liver will be too big to operate on. What does your pre-op diet look like?

I haven' had my preop nutrition appointment yet. It is on 4/26. At that point it will only be two weeks until surgery....I'm hoping for a week but will do whatever he says.

I’m having bypass May 7...I was nervous/excited...then I too went through the phase where I wanted to eat...I had to lose 10% of my weight to get approved, I did that fine...now I have my pre op with my primary dr on Thursday and my weight is up a little and I’m nervous...my weight is not supposed to be up at all during this time...I’m thinking of opting out of getting weighed...the only weight that matters will be next week at my surgical pre op...

I'm scared to get on the scale now, but I guess I really need to know where I am so that I can get my act together.. I' pretty sure they won' cancel after insurance approval, but I most certainly don' want to be the one who gained weight either.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
