Hi Karen!

I am in Georgetown and I am just beginning my journey. I would love to have someone to talk to who has recently been though the process!

Wow! You got yours put in two days after I did. How are you doing? Im doing great and the initial pain is almost completely gone. I am off the liquid diet 3 days early and started smooth foods because I did not want to get sick at work. So far, so good. I've lost 7lbs since surgery and I feel good. I'm about to go for a walk. Hope you're doing well, too!

Hi, my name is Tina. I'm 50 years old and am just starting the whole proceedure before the surgery. I don't even have a date set yet. I'm wondering how you've handled things so far. Did you have to go through a bunch of stuff before surgery? How much have you lost so far? Are you having many problems post-op? Since you are very new at this, I'd really like your input! Thanks!

I was just banded on Monday, March 28--Can't offer much more than support.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
