After reading the boards for a while, I know I'm one of the heavyweight sleevers to be. I need to lose about 200 lbs.

Any other July peeps in the same boat?

Hey everyone :) I am a new member as of today! yay! My surgery date is July 30th and I am soooo excited! It has been a long road so I am ready. Pretty much had to jump through hoops to get here! I am super nervous about surgery, anyone else had a tough time deciding between RNY and sleeve?

July 11th here for my surgery. I'm getting excited by the minute. I am so thankful to have found other July people as well. Ive had a little set back physically. I tore the ligaments in my ankle. So I m not able to exercise right now. I actually will find out this morning if I need surgery. My positive side says nope, no time. :-) I've scheduled my pre-op testing and need to start the Atkins diet two weeks prior to surgery date. I feel blessed to have supportive people in my corner. Thinking of you all.

Yeah it's getting super close. scale was stuck at 657 for 4 days the yesterday dropped to 652. 15 total lost on preop since day after memorial day.

One day at a time. I'm trying to stay off the scale and watch how my clothes fit. Scale stresses me out sometimes. Plus I have this boot on my ankle which weighs about 5 pounds.

I'm there with you. I'm really wanting to lose about 190 or so. I have to admit though, I cant even remember being 200 pounds less than I am now. I know I was at one point cause I had to pass it to get here. I'm going to judge how I'm doing as I go and see where I am happy. If I'm happy when I get to 150 then I'll stop there but I'd love to be able to say I'm less than half the woman I once was!

Hi Everyone! Thought I was going to be a June sleever but circumstances seem to be pushing it toward July. I go back to my doc on the 19th for follow up from the EGD. He said everything looked good after the procedure so I am guessing I will be pushed to the first week of July for surgery. Sure was hoping for June but no matter what its going to happen! :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
