I'm 5'2", 210lbs. Surgery to be scheduled this week and hopefully be sleeved by first part of May. Anyone else short stuff? Would love to hear your successes!

I am 4'10" and my weight was 179.5 just prior to surgery...I lost 5lbs before the surgery and since then have lost 35.9 lbs. I am working to get to my goal of 50 lbs. It is slower for me since I didn't have a huge amount of weight to lose but this has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I feel so much better both physicallys and emotionally. I can tell you from my experience that this is great. Let me know how you are doing. Congradulations on your upcoming journey

Hi, I'm 5'1" and about 216. My insurance company requires a 6 month supervised diet before the surgery can be scheduled, which seems so rediculous! If I could diet successfully, I wouldn't be here! Good luck yo you!

So you were sleeved in Dec 2010 and reached your goal in May of 2011? Your ticker says reached your goal in May 2010 but that couldn't be possible if you weren't sleeved until Dec lol.

Wow that is great. How did you do it? Do you mind if I ask how you were when you were sleeved?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
