Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

My day was moved up because of work commitments.....was Aug 13 now July 16......I feel like I'm going into panic mode! One day excited, next day terrified....mostly just tired of arguing with people who think the surgery is a dangerous cop-out to diet and exercise (not my family though)...starting pre-op diet Sunday, wish me luck :-)

Things are good' date=' I was pretty uncomfortable after surgery but it was mostly my back hurting. I have had a bad back for a long time. But all in all its been good! I have lost 24 pounds since surgery, the past week my weight loss has slowed but I'm hoping for it to pick back up soon. I have started drinking 2 Protein Shakes and am hoping that will help. How are things going for you?[/quote']

I have not had surgery yet but I am hoping that I will lose weight quickly and be able to work out as well. I have fibromyalgia so I am hopeful that it will help with this as well. I will keep you posted.

Ok, Texas sleeve buddies. The liquid diet has been the hardest thing. The bariatric advantages does not agree with me. I had 2 try other products. Im so looking forward 2 Tuesday. Iv been sick the whole week.

I have PCOS and I can't wait 2 be normal again.

Three doctors ensured me, that the surgery will help my cycles and pcos. If my cycles are fixed by these surgery hysterectomy will be next for me. I just can't take the heavy cycles and pain anymore. My pray is 2 have a normal and healthy pregnancy and normal cycle. Yea, normal weight.

Again, I wish you all much success on your weight lost journey.

Ain't no stoppin us now,were on the move !!!!!!<br />Sincerely<br /> Zeta

      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? 🤷‍♀️
