Hi everyone! My name is Cyndi, I am 30 years old in Omaha, NE. I had my consult with the surgeon yesterday and I have been scheduled to have my surgery on May 12th! I am looking forward to reading all of your stories and getting to know you.

Hi Cyndi! Nice to 'meet' you! I'm 33, from Illinois and my surgery date is May 13th! I'm very excited and happy. I started the liquid diet today. How are you doing?

Hi everyone! I am nervous and I can't believe it's coming up so quickly. I start my pre op diet on Saturday and am really dreading it! On one hand, I know I will feel good about not eating junk but on the other hand, I am worried that I will be hungry ALL the time!

Hey guys! I am scheduled for May 11th! This is day two of my liquid diet. I used to be a nice person...

I hope I can find this forum again... it is so exciting to be getting close and I have the feeling only you guys are going to understand what I am going through! Have you been picturing the you of next May? It's so exciting!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
