Hello to all the new November sleevers and welcome!!! I'm also a November sleever surgery date was November 30' date='2012. This was by far the best thing to happen to me!!! I'm 11 months out and down 97 lbs and lost 15 inches off my waist alone!! Some days will be hard and there will be times when you have buyers remorse, but believe me it will pass when you see the weight melting off. Just wanted to wish you all good luck on your upcoming surgeries!!

Top pic is day after surgery, bottom pic is what I look like now. Pre-op 258.8 CW 161.4

Congratulations and thanks for your words. I have been very calm up until this point and now I am freaking out a bit. First about complications and second on buyers remorse, regret, and depression.

I am very nervous. I have never been operated on. I M scared of the unknown and what to expect for my recovery. What about you
I've had 2 back surgeries both this is in a total different area. Lol I'm starting to get nervous and about the week before I will probably try to back out, then m husband will say "woman what's your problem". I'll cry a little and make a million excuses, he'll hug me and say "get over it already" then ill call my little sissy and get my pep talk. I'm goofy like that. I am worried about the pre-op diet more than anything.

I'm nervous about the pre diet. I was told mine will not be liquid but I won't believe it until I meet with them on the 7th. My surgery is at 7:30 in morning so I am the first one for the day. I am excited about being first!

Today is my 2nd day of pre-op diet. So far its not that bad. And believe me I was going crazy over thinking how this was going to go. I am very hungry, its not so much head hunger rather than real deal hunger. I only have 3 Protein Drinks a day to drink and thats it. So imagine that! All of you who are going through it soon you will be fine. try not to over think it like I did, we only make it harder on ourselves. Remember the big prize!!! Im so ready for this part to be over and to get the ball rolling. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
