I’ve been trying to figure out how to “reply” and no success lol! So @Frustr8 , my Surgery will be at Mount Carmel West with Dr. Marcus Miller through Central Ohio Surgical Associates.

My highest weight is about 330 at the end of May. I lost 15 in June so I wouldn’t have to extend my weigh ins. Right now I’m at 310 but I hope to hit 299 by the day of surgery. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last year and my glucose is normal , not sure how though. Thank you ! I hope things go well for you as well!

Hmmn Better you than me! Marcus Miller and I go way back and not all of it good. But different strokes, different folks, I hope he does do good by you. And the rest perhaps the better not said. I will be praying for you that things go well.

I just rescheduled my surgery date to 9/13.. changed it cus I was going to be on my monthly and opted to not deal with that at the same time!

Mine got rescheduled for the 13th as well! Originally I was 9/5, but I had to have oral surgery and that was cutting it too short to heal completely for intubation with VSG surgery.

That is awesome! Do you have to do a pre op diet? I hope all goes well for you with the VSG but also with the dental!

Yes, I have to do a 2 week pre-op diet, but I started it early. Mine allows Protein Shakes and 4 oz of lean meat and vegetables for dinner. My calorie cap is 1200.

Lucky both of you! Mine is a full liquid diet with 90 g of Protein. broth, strained cream of Soups, power aid zero, sf popsicles, sf Jello, Water and crystal light. But I guess that is why the said for us NOT to start it any sooner than the date given to us by the surgeon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
