Have my surgery date July 17! Super nervous!!

Happy July everyone!!! I have a 22 day countdown. Yahooo!!!

My concern was the fact I’ve always been very high and have lower energy lately. Found interesting article re: WLS, Leptin levels and heart rate:

Thanks for the positive vibes my friend and good luck to you.. your surgery is right around the corner... I'm praying you make it to your surgery date and you are going strong through that preop diet. Faith be with you Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Emily, I am so sorry to hear that! Mine was postponed several times and it was very difficult to keep the faith and my Momentum forward. You my friend are a nurse and Nurses gave us all hope during this pandemic . Use us to pull you thru!! Prayers being sent your way!

The sleeve around her stomach came loose, undoing the entire surgical procedure? What on earth does that mean?

You're right, I couldn't imagine how i would feel if it was winter time.

I'm right there with you. I guess now, I have to up my sweater game.😊

I started right at a BMI of 35. I lost 10 lbs. I think in the first 2 weeks. Then it was a steady 2-3 lbs. a week until I purposely tried to eat more calories around month 6 because I was already close to a normal BMI and felt that it was still coming off too quick. I dropped a little more and now maintain around 127-129 (higher due to Covid stress eating) eating 1500-1600 calories. I was at a consistent 125-126 from month 6-month 13 (March). I read a lot of others who said they lost slowly due to starting at a lower BMI. But everyone is different and mine was pretty quick.

surgery twin! I went home next day barely as they were concerned with the severity of spasms in my pouch. but incould keep water down so I got to go home. the pain from the gas and pain on my left side incision is the worst! i feel like I sleep non stop. everything makes me exhausted. even talking lol!
