The Gastric Sleeve Chat Room Is Always Open!



Recommended Posts

I messaged Alex and he said they took the chat program out because it was costing a lot to maintain on their server, and he could not justify spending the money because it was hardly being used.

I wrote back and told him if he ever decides to bring it back , to please but the button where we click clearly visible, and the reason it wasn't being used, was because nobody was using it.

If people want to live chat, message Alex and tell him you want it back. I think if he saw people really wanted it, he would bring it back.

Hi Pastano. I am just beginning also. I'm a bit overwhelmed with it all. Maybe I'm just afraid of success with surgery as I am failure (as so many previous times) without surgery.

I use my fitness pal and it always tell me to eat at least 1600 calories a day. I'm only getting in 800-900. I get in all my Protein, fiber and liquids. Should I just ignore it because I just can't do it. I feel overwhelmed

Hi! I use MFP as well. You can change your goals anytime in the settings. You will get a warning at the end of the day telling you that you need to eat more. I just ignore that. You can also set goals for protein and carbs.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
