Some people had concerns about posting in public' date=' as they don't want their friends to know they had surgery. Because of this, I have created a Facebook group and set the visibility to secret. Unfortunately, because of this, you need to be invited by a member of the group. I believe that I must be friends with someone to invite them. Not an ideal situation, but I'd like as many March sleevers to join without fear of being seen. I will close this page after today. Feel free to add me as a friend and I will invite you into the group. My name is Joseph Stahl, and my Facebook profile is similar to my picture here playing the trumpet. Feel free to unfriend me after you are a member of the group, unless you don't mind seeing political posts on Facebook.[/quote']

Please friend Brandy Byrd

I will friend you so I can join. Fair warn though, I will unfriend you after, I hate political rants on FB! But I love you here! :-)

No problem, I understand completely. I'm sure I've lost a few friends over it, but it's something I'm passionate about and won't change. You can also do the email option so you don't have to friend me.

Ok. Since I'm not that good with fb. What do I do next after I friend you?

Tricie, I already added you to the group, you should be able to get in now. It should appear on the left side of your Facebook page, under Groups.

OK people, if you'd like to be added to the Facebook group, do one of the following:

1. Add me as a friend by following this link: https://www.facebook.com/joe.stahl?ref=tn_tnmn

2. Send me a message on here with your email address and I can invite you using your email address.

If you choose option 1, I will delete you as a friend once adding you to the group, unless you request otherwise.

I found a march 2013 sleevers fb but it only allows to like and not join? I prefer a private group as well. I don't want my posts being seen by others

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
