OK' date=' here it is: https://www.facebook.com/March2013Sleevers.

I've left the group open for now. If anyone joins who shouldn't or gets disruptive, then I will change the settings. But I don't really anticipate any problems.

Thank you!

People don't know I had the surgery and I don't want my fb friends seeing the things I post on that page. If you change it to private let us know. I will join at that point. Thanks so much

I'm trying to figure out how to make a Facebook page private after it's been created, and having a hard time finding out how. I looked at creating a Facebook group, rather than a page, and there is a setting to make the group be secret (visible only to members), but in order to do that you have to add some of your friends as members, and I don't have any friends that should be members of the group. So I figured a page was the way to go. I'll keep looking for the answer and keep you all posted.

Some people had concerns about posting in public, 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.

I also see there is a way to invite by email, so if you'd like to private message me your email address here, I will do that from within the group.

Tricie, I will be deleting the page, and sticking solely with the group. So you can either friend me on Facebook, or send me your email address so I can send you an invite to the group.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
