Recommended Posts

Sarah,

I'm 5'9"... Good luck tomorrow!!! What's your goal? I'm shooting for 100 lost by August 6th :)

Good luck to you too. I don't have any specific goals. I'm just going to do as much as I can as fast as I can. These first 6 months will be crucial I think. I'm gonna work my booty off, LITERALLY!!

I check in at 11:15. I'm looking forward to hearing how you're doing.

Sarah

I am one week from today! January 16th at 1:00 pm. I was doing great on liquid diet having just a few cups of spinach or carrots and cucumber with rice vinegar, but hit a wall today! For the first time in a week I wanted food so bad I cried!

Feeling like a failure (I ate a piece of cheese and 3 mini pretzels) I came to bed. Now so upset I can't sleep. I want this so much, why am I so freaking weak!???! Ok thanks for letting me air it out- done with pitty party and try to rest.

Prayers for all is Jan sleeves!! God bless you all and good luck.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I slipped a few times during my 2 week diet too. You're not the only one. Just try and do your best and be as compliant as you can from now on. You can do this!!

I have surgery on the 10th and only 2 days of liquid diet. Knowing this was coming, I ate so many "last foods" in the last few days, that I feel so guilty!!! What a mental case I am!!

Too funny! I was so tempted yesterday. Was on full liquids but it seemed like there was temptation around every corner. Today is Clear Liquids and I don't even want to get out of bed cause I know I'm gonna be even more tempted!

Ok fellow sleevers!!!! I just got home from the hospital, my surgery Monday, jan.7th.

I was in horrible pain after surgery and all night. They have me dilauded and zofran and was still hurting so bad, but my nurse didn't giver anything else. Finally this morning the bariatric nurse practitioner came to see me and told me that it was unacceptable that I was still in pain. She have me Toradol and I felt like a new person! So my advice - ask for toradol right away!!!!

Good luck!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
