Hope your recovery is going well! Were you sleeved in St. John's? I'm in CBS and I'm travelling to Mexico in September to be sleeved...CAN'T WAIT to see what my inner skinny person looks like ;)

I'm getting ready for my surgery on October 30th--I'm an Island girl who would love to connect with any other PEI sleevers!

I'm in Halifax! Definitely looking for connections and support. Local would be great, but it's comforting just knowing there are other East-Coasters out there too! (Sometimes don't you feel like you're the only one???)

Drop me a line if you want to! :)

I posted here on October 8th but I thought I would update my progress. I had the vertical sleeve surgery on April 29 here in Halifax by Dr. Elsmere (what nice man) and I was sent home May 1st after being progressed to stage 3 diet. It's been tough trying to get the liquids they want me to have each day. I understandably have some discomfort when anything hits my stomach. Moving around has not been a problem although the staples in the incisions gross me out LOL. I know things will get better with time :)

I am having my vsg done in Bathurst by dr semerjian. I see the anesthesiologist on November 13! I'd love to have the surgery before Christmas. I am most nervous about the 2 week pre-op only boost and going to work everyday will be hard!

losinforlife - Good luck on your surgery :)

I have been doing great since mine. I have lost 150lbs and have dropped 3 sizes in bottoms and 2 sizes on top (I am self-conscious about my loose flesh so I keep my tops loose).

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
