Hey everyone! Just joined here today for support, info and guidance. I'm scheduled for the sleeve on 12/23. Starting to get nervous, anxious and second guessing myself. All normal feelings I'm sure.

Absolutely. I had nervousness and anxiety until they knocked me out with anesthesia 🤣. I was sleeved on 12/11 and it’s been a small challenge but not so bad. COME HERE AND VENT ANY TIME YOU NEED TOO!!! There are some wonderful people here who give you that PUSH! It make a difference when someone has been where you are! Don’t worry too much. You’ll be fine. 😘

I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning and am so NERVOUS! I'm also in the cross between excited and 2nd guessing my choice. I think I'm just most worried about getting through the surgery not the after.

Hey there, what's going on with your nerves? You absolutely must believe that you are going to make it through this and on to the otherside of success. You are a Jedi warrior and THE FORCE IS WITH YOU...

Let's check in and assess, you are nervous and that's normal. Fear of the unknown is a beast, it is also paralyzing if you don't check it. You are supported here and remember you want this , so you can extend your time with your young family. 💜

If there were ANY chance of you not being 100 % successful in recovery they will NOT do the procedure.

Don’t be nervous, I’m 5 days post op and it’s the best thing I could have done. I use to take 42 pills a day for different health problems, instantly after surgery I am reduced to 8 pills I will eventually need to start taking Vitamins that I haven’t started yet but that will be nothing compared to those nasty meds I’ve talked for 25+ yrs that have damaged my kidneys.
Just remind yourself the health benefits behind it. . I will also let you know in these 5 days I haven’t had one hunger pain. I just keep up with the routine I was told and it works. Plan on setting a goal for walking to relieve any gas pain. It helps too. I couldn’t have any pain meds because of my kidney disease so I did a lot of walking.. I’m now working my way up to 10,000 steps from 5,000. Best wishes to you and you will be amazing

Thank you @Krimsonbutterflies I appreciate your kind words! Surgery went well yesterday and it looks like I’ll get to go home today. I’m only a little nauseous and that’s when I get up. Pain is controlled it’s just more of an uncomfortable feeling. I’m trying to learn how to sip slowly. 3 sips is usually too much for me and causes more discomfort in my stomach and an overly full feeling. Still very tired and sleepy. I slept most of the day yesterday.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
