I'm so happy you got good news!! I wish you the best and August 10th is just around the corner. Continue to pray and stay strong. The payoff is amazing!!! You asked when did I start exercising. My surgery was 12/13/11. I started to fill strong enough to walk after my 3 month checkup in March. I walked 1/2 mile for three days then 1 mile the next three days. It was hard and I was out of breathe but the more I did it, the easier it got. So, I pushed on pass the itching and aches. By the end of May, I was up to 3 miles 5 days a week. I saw a huge weight drop and pushed myself to five miles 5 days a week. Well, it didn't hurt anymore and my body was used to it. At my 7 month checkup July 13, 2012, Dr. Yu said congrats you've passed your goal. Now I do three days a week and I'm still losing. It's slow now, about 3 lbs in 10 days.

I will pray that you get through your surgery with zero complication.

Im getting stronger each day. I discovered unflavored Protein mixed with applesauce is key for me. Im feeling better now. liquid I use a spoon. Its better for me. G2 keeps me hydrated. Im only able to eat baked potatoes, sonic ice and applesauce for now. Everything else will stay down. Im able to wear large shirts now.

Please don't give up my sleeve friends. Trust God .I promise he will help you.

The stress test sounds scary and I hope I don't have to do that :/

Looking back, even though I would absolutely HATE to do it again, I would, I gotta get back to living life and not just watching it pass me by...It's not all that bad, It just felt really weird, the nurse told me to move my arms and feet to ease the weirdness, it helped some. Just looking forward to the end result :D

I know I saw a few newly sleeved folks out there, Keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery! God is able!
