College Students?

Hey everyone! I'm a college student, sophomore to be exact, and I was sleeved in July 2012. So, I was wondering, who else on here is a college student??? I'd love to meet some people who can kind of relate to some of the struggles of being a weight loss surgery patient and being in school. Thanks, look forward to hearing from some people!

I feel you! The workload really has an affect on me! I'm not complaining, but having so many papers due this semester has definitely had its toll on me haha!

So what about working out? How are you guys doing with exercise, finding it hard or easy to keep up with?

I'm a fitness and wellness ambassador for my school and I'm the TA/admin assistant to the head of the physical education department, so luckily I'm allowed to work out while working. I don't cleared for anything but walking for a couple more weeks though.... How are you doing with it?

I am in graduate school and working full-time. I am just over a week post op and its kicking my butt!

Hi I'm on my 2nd year, and I'm 6 months out!! Let me tell you, school and exercise is hard to do as well as work!!! I feel great and I'm more active :)

I agree Maggie! School work plus exercise is difficult, I couldn't imagine juggling a job too! But I will say, one of the biggest NSV I've had is not only fitting into the desks and lecture hall seats, but actually having room to wiggle about!
