Suddenly panicking now that the office called with my arrival and OR time for tomorrow. I'm worried this is a mistake and I'm a mess. 😟

I don't need them to call for that, I'm right there with you right now! So, 16 years ago I had my stomach stapled and did not think about it twice and due to complications (stricture and severe gerd) gained half the weight back. This time around the head games started last week. I know this ultimately IS the right step in moving forward healthfully and otherwise, so I know I HAVE to stop letting doubt in and just keep moving forward and tackle everything else as it comes.

You are going to be just fine, Trish and God willing, after maybe regretting it for the first week or two, you will swear it's the best decision you ever made, just like 99% of this board members.

Hugs and prayers to ALL!❤

Honey, I’m right there with you! Dear hubby just talked me down off the ledge when I frightfully (after ALL the effort to get to this point!) said “I know we’ll have a life again (unlike past 2 weeks of pre-op😩)...I am doing the right thing, aren’t I?” When all along, up until this point, it’s been me convincing him it’s right for me. It sure feels schizo doesn’t it?!?!😜

It’s a time for us to be gentle with ourselves, not over think this, not doubt our decision. For me, this has been a 6 month+ process of studying, soul and mind searching, never doubting it was going to be good.

Smile today, drink plenty of Water, project thoughts 6 months from now and how we’ll be light and airy and remembering this humble moment when we stood tall, took a deep breath and redesigned our future!

Love, hugs and All Wonderful Wishes to everyone!❤️

Best wishes for all of the March 10th folk today!!!!! Just met with part of the surgical team; the main guy is probably in surgery right now.

Vitals were really good; officially down 24# since starting with this journey; 29# from my highest weight posted here and 32# from my highest weight. BP looking very good. Next to the dentist to get this cap and then to kidney specialist for labs.

My surgery is tentative scheduled for March 17th, but may move to March 18th (some hospital schedule crap stuff), but I'm moving full steam ahead.

I'm all sleeved and in my room until tomorrow! The gas pain is for real. I've never been so happy to burp in my life. My mouth is super dry, but alas, everything went perfectly. Being a nurse, it's hard to be the patient!

I hope everyone else's procedures go smoothly. I'm thinking of you all!

I’m sleeved S well and in my own private room. I feel absolutely great, except I keep dozing off every 20 minutes or so. I have slight irratation at the top of my rib cage which I’m guessing is the gas. Haven’t been cleared to walk yet but I believe we will be soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
