My surgery is on June 5th. I pray that this is the right decision and that I will be healthier. For me it was between this surgery or heart surgery so the choice was clear. I am excited and scared at the same time.

We are getting the same surgery on the same day!

Yes, I know, I saw your answer earlier. I will be at mayo Clinic in Florida. Where are you getting the surgery? I think we should keep in contact.

Hi! Im new to this site and in much needed support from others going through the same thing! My VSG surgery is scheduled for June 27th and they have had me on a diet of Protein Shakes twice a day with a light meal at lunch for over a month to lose weight before the pre-op diet. It has been rough! Im starting to question if this is a good idea, especially as I still have to take care of my family (cook meals, shop, meal plan). How is everyone else dealing with the difference in what they are doing versus their family? I can’t wait for the surgery to get to the next part.

Hey! I have my surgery June 5. I understand the frustration you are dealing with cooking for the family, going grocery shopping etc. but I have a feeling this is the right decision for you. Something brought you to this point and maybe you just need a reminder of it. For me it’s my kids. I want to travel on an airplane with them, I want to chase them up the stairs with out hurting, I want to ride bikes and jump on a trampoline with them. When I start to have doubts or frustration I remind my self the kids are more important than Oreo Cookies and brownies. Is your family able to create a menu, do the shopping for a bit while you get over the hump? I think you will be glad you did this. Hang in there you got it!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
