@Puffy-no-more I have to order certain products form Protifoods.com and start that 2 weeks prior to surgery. Hope it tastes okay!

Okay that's neat. I'm just doing alot of research to figure out what I'm going to do for post op with the shakes and broths and powders and best brands and all that. There's so much out there.

I’m scheduled for
February 14th! I’m getting the sleeve, but still thinking about RNY. I don’t have much time left
To decide!

On one hand I'm glad I'm not alone with the indecision, on the other I'm sorry it's a hard decision for you too. Good luck with your decision process!

New surgery date for me 2/21. I got a call today saying there was a conflict in scheduling at the facility I'm having surgery done 🤷‍♂️ Kind of annoyed because I have an appointment with my primary doctor later today for clearance that I guess i'll have to reschedule..

Aww I’m so sorry to hear this.

you’re going to hate me for saying this, but there’s probably a reason why things had to be rescheduled. Things tend to happen for a reason (I think). And this could mean anything from something being wrong at the clinic, to something being wrong with the doctor that operating..who knows.

I kind of settled into the idea of it pretty quickly surprisingly, mostly because I haven’t over planned just yet.. so I guess we can say they caught me at a good time 😂

Nope I definitely totally agree, everything happens for a reason. I was more bothered that I had to reschedule with my primary doc only hours before my appointment than anything else. Weird right? But I guess that serves as confirmation that it was meant to be this way.

That is awful!! Is there an appeal process? A 2 pound weight gain could be anything... what you are wearing, sodium, menstrual cycle, digestive issues, holidays. So unfair.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
