Is there a way for the September Folks to stay current with each other? I mean, do you have to just pick through the posts -- or is there a centralized communication that folks can do?

Sassy sleevers on Fb is great, and I have a separate September sleevers group. Just email me your address and I'll add you.

I had surgery Monday. Today is a great day, but it's still hard to get Protein and Water in. I'm on full liquids for a month and I don't think those include mashed potatoes or cottage cheese. But! I'm ok with that because it sounds horrible right now.

Anyone off pain meds? I think I will be by next week.

Are the Facebook groups private?

You know, most are. I was thinking any of us who want can friend each other and keep up with each other.

I'd love to get in a group. My email is funmama1@yahoo.com. I'm on fb' date=' but keeping this journey private. ;)[/quote']

Mine is not a private journey... I am blessed that I was able to do this. My husband is planning to go in for his in March. I feel blessed that his entire family is supportive since they all know the medical reasons.

I wish you lots of luck and know that we are all here to support each other!

I am going to jump in here. I was sleeved 9/3. I have lost 16 pounds since surgery and 26 since my surgical consult. I had my post op visit today and was advanced to full liquids....Next step real food I can chew!

As for the FB groups, take advice with a grain of salt. Sassy Sleevers is popular and has a lot of members but it's pretty catty and full of poor advice. The September group is going well right now and it's set as Closed/Private so that any posts made there do not show up on your Facebook wall.

That's great. I'm interested in the Sept group. Closed groups are great.

I've added everyone that responded to the september group. I agree, sassy sleevers has all of kinds of patients-- people asking for permission to behave poorly as well as perfect patients that follow the book. Have to pick and choose for sure!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
