Got My Date! (Any Other June Sleevers?)



Recommended Posts

With my EGD on Monday, Wednesday surgery class, and Friday EKG and tests....it REALLY does feel like it going pretty fast!! I've noticed that I'm craving things, almost like it will be the last time I get to eat them cravings. Anyone else having those. Weird for me to feel like I'm going through a loss for food period.

I decided to semi start my pre-surgery diet with 1 Protein Shake for Breakfast and 2 smaller meals...I like the idea of the healthy choice as one of the meals...I'm going to have to try that. It's very exciting to have many June-sleevers to chat with!! I've started going to our local support group, but am glad that I have many of you to chat with and help with my journey!! My family is very supportive, but they are all thin and don't quite understand what I've been going through, it's nice to not feel like the oddball anymore, and that I can get support here too!! Thank you, it's making my process a lot easier!! Good luck with all of you, WE'RE going to do GREAT!!

Ive also been trying a couple of tge protien drinks, they all taste like crap. I love juice... Does anyone know of any that taste like juice or at least any that taste good?

Try Syntrax nectar. You can find it on Amazon.com. It comes in several flavors like lemonade (my fave) and fuzzy navel. unjury has an unflavored that isn't bad when mixed with other things. Also Unjury chicken Soup isn't bad either. Thought I would add that I'm waiting on a call from my surgeon for a date in June!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
