Just Got my June Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

I am 26 years old. 5’6. My CW is 344lbs , GW is 200lbs.

I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! My consultation was 5/28 and they called me today stating they could schedule me as soon as 6/17! I wanted to get a full 2 weeks on the liquid diet so i have scheduled for 6/22 at 9AM. I didn’t think i would have a date so soon after consult. Two weeks i soon. But I’ve been praying for this for a long time! So my excitement definitely overshadows the nervousness. Lol

RicaShanea, You didn't say which surgery you're getting. I hope you have a successful WLS and safe recovery! It takes a lot of will power to follow the diet and make the nutritional changes required. Keep posting here on the forum and you'll get support from this community.

So happy for you! I remember when I got my surgery date - I was so excited... My excitement totally obscured any nervousness I could have had. You'll do great. Just make sure to follow the instructions each step. If you get out of line - your body will react & it's not pleasant. But it will be worth it in the end! Keep us updated on how things go!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
