Hi, I'm the one who is on for July 24th. I haven't seen others yet. What state are you in? I'm in South Florida. Dr Wizman is my surgeon. I am counting down the days on an iPhone app. Can't wait to get this done! I am trying to make some adjustments now in what I'm eating, but still gaining.

That's great Lite n Sweet! Welcome to the July 2014 club! Looks like you're the earliest in the month so far. You'll have to lead the way. I can't wait. I'm tired of carrying this weight around and ready to start getting rid of it. It's encouraging to see the success of people on this forum. It's also helpful to see the honesty of getting through the pre op and post op periods but it will be well worth it!

That's great fhawkins! We've got a good group going! Please share your experience so those of us later in the month can follow. I just did pre-op blood work today and get chest x-Ray Weds. Each appt gets me closer to the 24th. Just scheduled off work. I'll be out for 10 days which should be enough to start to recoup.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
