Today has finally arrived. It's sort of surreal feeling actually. years of waitign to get to this point and now it's here. wow. we drove up last night to stay in a hotel w/the children and my mom since the hospital is about 75 minutes away from the house. I have told the children (almost 8 and 4 1/2) as much as I am comfortable telling them and that I will be at the hospital overnight. I explained that since Mommys take care of everything the Dr. wanted mommy to stay at the hospital so they could make sure to take care of me so I would get good rest. I am hoping I feel up to having them come and visit me tonight after all is said and done. I dont want them to see me in a lot of pain. I am not scared....which sorta makes me scared lol I am ready...not nervous or leery just ready. My mom kept watching me w/the babies last night tucking them in and I could feel her wanting me to get emotional...or expecting me to I dont know. I juts didnt feel like welling up w/tears and making it a huge production, it was just bedtime kwim?

I couldnt sleep, it's almost 6am and i have to be at the hospital at 745. If you think of me today say a prayer and I'll see you after surgery. The hospital has wifi and I will be bringing you all with me (laptop woohoo) so if I dont feel miserable I will update later tonight! Have a great day!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
