My husband and I both are having VSG on February 15th at BariatricPalMX. We started our pre-op today. Reduced calorie for a week then full liquids till surgery day.

I am just finalizing all our travel plans now and getting so freaking excited!

Less than a month to tie up loose ends, less than a month to wait for something that profoundly changes your life, you will meet this challenge and your labor will. not be in vain for you are engaged in the job of rebuilding yourself and it's a project only You can do.Go forward believing in yourself, a smile on your face and hope in your heart of hearts. And you will be blessed.

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 12th & at this very moment I am terrified, 2nd questioning my decision, talkinging myself out of it then remembering why I am doing it in the first place & talking myself back into it... right now I feel like i'm on a roller coaster ride.

You have a bad case of the whim wahs,many of us have had them. Its getting closer every day, I would bet you're 85-90% wanting to do this but there is a small little voice saying Run Baby Run, it is scary facing the unknown. You have to keep moving forward, don't let dread take you captive. The good things in life are the hard things of life, always been that way. But you are growing in strength, resolve and believing in yourself, and you will make a success of this thing. AND OH THE FINAL BENEFITS ARE TRULY WORTH ALL THIS PREPARATION. You will wake up February 12th after your surgery still you, just facets of you will have changed, but you will find your feet again and you'll make it through, we faced it ourselves and we'll be here cheering you on! So Wee here the roller takes its last bend and you're home safe and free!

Wow thank you for the awesome words of encouragement, I appreciate it so very much. I wasn't sure about joining this site because i'm not very tech savvy & I hate to admit it took me a few minutes to figure out how to comment back. But I am so glad I did, again thank you

On Day 11 of my liquid diet. It's been rough. I did semi cheat on day 8. . .I ate 4 bites of cottage cheese and then cried lol Feb 1st is so close. Tonight I am packing my hospital bag because my surgery is at 9:40 am on Friday. My husband bought me a shirt that says Downsizing in Progress to wear the day of surgery. lol He gets me haha I'm so anxious and excited at the same time. 8 months of hard work and 47 lbs already gone. Congratulations to all the Feb Sleevers!!!

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
