Hey! Some things that helped me...keep walking...when u wake up, you will feel sore but the best thing you can do is just walk..

Drink your Protein drinks...don't stress about how much you lose...just weigh yourself weekly note very day...be careful w wine and milk.. And any other questions let me know..li was worried about the scars but I can't even see mine anymore.

Hey! I just seen this forum, I will be 23 in September. I have been looking to get to know some people that are as young as I am that are going through this. It doesnt seem like you see that many younger people in their early 20's doing this. I am just getting started with the whole process... dont know when my surgery will be quite yet. Any advice I can get would be great. How are your guy's friends reacting to this? Some of mine showed concern for my health and scared about the actual surgery and then some were just shocked that I couldnt go out and drink with them anymore.

I love my new stomach!! I have had no problems yet and I'm two weeks out. I've lost 27 pds so far. I feel amazing. I have a lot more energy too. My friends were all supportive and officially named me the designated driver hahaha which isn't bad cause I can have fun w/ out alcohol. I would definitely recommend this surgery :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
