Hi everyone,

I was sleeved July17th and everything went ok. I will be starting soft foods this week and I am getting my Protein in through shakes. I am still struggling with Water but I am slowly increasing. My biggest problem is anxiety, or just a feeling of loss of control. I could use a pal that understands the after surgery emotions.

Hi, I am from the Hurricane, WV area. I am going through St. Marys WLC with Dr. Robarts as my surgeon. I have not had surgery yet, but am close. I have jumped through the hoops. Just waiting on a medical situation to be resolved and ins. submission. Hoping for October surgery. Would love to follow your journey with you.

Thank you so much for your reply, it sounds like you know exactly how I feel. It helps me to know that there is light at the end of this tunnel.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
