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'm a junior....woohoo! Sleeved on Oct 6th and went back to school a couple days later. The biggest challenge for me is the exhaustion and heavy work load.

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 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!

      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.
