I do not have any nausea I do get a little tightness in my chest if I drink too much or too fast.. But that is getting better every day... My stomach and abdomen is not sore at all I got my drain removed yesterday.. And my surgeon did such a wonderful job that the incisions are Practically invisible

I started my liquids today, I couldn't really sleep lastnite because I was so anxious about getting started. I know this phase has to be accomplished before I go to the next phase; surgery.

Hello again my people' date=' its been a while. I just wanna say to everyone who is having second thoughts about getting sleeved...... Yes it is a tough journey in the beginning, only because you're making a life altering decision. Not only are you changing your appearance, you're changing your health and mentality. With that said.......think of this , for my health alone it was well worth it. But as a bonus I feel better than I ever have. My diabetes.....gone........high blood pressure.....gone......sleep apnea.......gone. so if you're having second thoughts just re-evaluate your personal situation, and see what it would be worth to you. Its your life and only yours. But I can honestly say its the best decision of my life so far. Iwas sleeved 9/04/12 and i started out at about 419-420lbs, today I'm 203lbs. And no worries if u follow the docs and dietitians advice plus trial and error, you will find what makes your journey more comfortable. Oh and the changes don't take long to get used to the first month is the hardest but its also the time you lose the most. So family I say think about it, and pray about it. You'll find your answer. Well wishes to everyone sleeved and good luck to those on the way.[/quote']

Nice bro... I wish to be successful as you are...

Hello all!! I know that some other sub-groups have created their own FB page just for their group. Has anyone thought about creating one just for AA?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
