Hi Saskatoon ladies ,

I kind of lost touch since last week but life is busy.

I start my 21 day pre-op liquid diet tomorrow... Holy sheet :) that means surgery is in 22 days!!! I went shopping and bought absolutely everything I need for this as well as the items I will need post-op. I also bought items that are healthy and easy to cook for my family. I think that's going to be the tough part. Being a stay at home mom with a hungry little guy might be trying during this journey.

The only thing that hinders me most days is my weight... Not being able to fit in my clothes right and finding pregnancy pants comfy is a huge problem... Yup my little guy is almost 19 months... Why am I still wearing them!!!!! I don't suffer from any sickness and I'm not out of breath going up a flight of stairs. But for how long??

I'm 31 years old, and stand 5'7

Highest weight 334

Current weight 322

Goal weight 160

I have a long way to go, and so much life to live.

As you might already know, I'm getting Sleeved by Dr.Alvarez July 5th. So here is to getting my overly large ass in shape and being the best I can be!!!!!

Hi there, I was wondering how your experience was with Dr Pompa? I am looking into this surgery and I'm a bit nervous.

It was great! I had a really positive experience and still go to support group meetings regularity... Hardest part for me has been the mental mind games I play on my self regarding food. Everyday I have to make a conscious effort to eat right but its payed off.. Down 104lbs and feel great! For some reason it doesn't show me that others posted here so sorry for the late response. I would be glad to answer any other questions although it may be quicker if you PM me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
