Hello everyone!! This is my first post and I am excited to be part of a very courageous group of people. I originally started my plan back in June and have a surgery date of 30 October. I am looking forward to my lifestyle change, and ready to tackle any and all obstacles!! :D

Hello Michael so glad you are moving forward in your life and your health. Life sucks sometimes and unfortunately we (you and me) deal with loss and shame and grief in the same way. ROLLERCOASTER I was abused by every single guy I ever allowed near me except for my daddy, in one way or another sexually, mentally and my ex-husband physically too. I don't know why? Then ex abused kids mentally this also was so hard to deal with no matter how far I took them away he still found a way to hurt them and me until he drank himself to death last year which brought a whole other level of pain and sent me into a depression like never before for a year I ate and hid inside my house. 389 lbs at my most in August and surgeon said gotta lose 75 before he will touch me bmi is too high dangerous. Good news Michael I lost 17 so far amen. But at a cost other g on meds that make me feel sick all the time but I am gonna win this battle just like you are keep me posted and by the way I live near you other side bay area east near the delta

Thanks Becca for your kind words. I'm sorry for all the abuse you went thru. My husband? Was very very mentally abusive and both of us at times were physical. My son one of the twins has add HD and was very difficult at a young age ( don't get me wrong I love this son of mine with all my heart) His Dad did not handle his hyper activity very well... it was hard on the whole family,

I'm Michaela! I'm 23 (soon to be 24 on November 6th) and have a ridiculous obsession with make-up. I think the best days aren't so much about what you're doing, but who you're with. I work full time at CVS Corporate for the MinuteClinic credentialing department. I am a go-getter, hoping to get promoted again in the next year. I have a deep faith in God, and an uncontrollable love for life and people.

I also love to write, and documented my VSG journey thorough a blog that I kept secret up until recently. So now blogging is one of my favorite things to do :) I would love for you to join me on my adventure! www.journeyofonederland.com

Hello October sleevers. I'm scheduled for 10/30 and will begin my pre-op plan beginning tomorrow. I've been out crawling through the past posts and have traveled the journey via blog with several of you now post sleevers.

If I could only take one item with me to the hospital what would suggest. I'm traveling from Alaska with only a small bag so what I pack has to count.

Are there other 10/30 sleevers out there?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
