We are here for you! Know that people like me pray every day for all my fellow sleevers and their surgeons! It seems like time goes by slowly when you start the WLS journey but as the day draws near, time flies! Once you get to 'my surgery is a week from today!' you'll really have anxiety! Just keep reading positive posts and check out Utube videos, VSG success stories or post-op xx weeks-they help replace fearful thoughts with exciting thoughts about yourself, your body and your future! Good luck-you'll be great!

No, haven't started my ore op diet, they told me to start that when I have a week to go. I guess I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Being a nurse I guess I have a different insight about my hospital stay. I know that things sometimes go wrong and I don't want to be a statistic. I have requested a certain anesthesiologist for my care, I have done my research on my surgeon. What I can't control is the nursing staff and my outcome. I guess that's what I'm nervous about. I'm also concerned about the pain aspect, the catheter, and my recovery time. What I am excited about is starting this new path to being healthy and more active. Thanks for the support, thou guys are really awesome!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
