I'm in east Mesa and I'm scheduled for surgery during Christmas break. Hope you are doing great. Where did you have surgery, how much time did you take off work. I'm hoping to be back to work after 2 weeks.

That is where I'm going to have mine done at too. My surgeon is going to be Dr. Fang, who was yours?

I would love to come to a support group, when are they? I live about 40 miles east of there. It would be great to have support other than my family (my husband has been great, he says he loves me the way I am and just wants me to be healthy). Sometimes I think people are judgemental toward wls and because of that I'm not very open about it to friends and some coworkers. How did you handle that?

I have only told a few friends. They are judgmental. Until they have walk in u shoes they will never understand. Hold strong and remember thiscroad is bumpy but so worth it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
