Just feeling a little nervous and jittery today... and it started yesterday. Not sure why? I've been wanting to do this for 4 years now and I am extremely excited! But, I'm also scared... how did you all deal with this?

With the help of family and friends and by reading all that I could on here. And finally by taking with me the picture in my mind of what I will look like when I am thin again. Not to mention that I put my life in the hands of the big guy in the sky.

Congratulations to you. It's normal to feel nervous. But as I keep saying it's not as bad as everyone might think it is. You will be just fine. Just think of how much better you will be in a few months. :thumbup:

Happy Holidays to you.

Good luck on your surgery. I was nervous and excited also. I picked up a book called "weight loss surgery for dummies" it kept me busy and made me more comfortable. It's an exciting time for you. I wish you the best.:thumbup:

I read that book also. Loved it. Taught me a great deal about the surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
