My name is Crystal, from Louisiana. I'm 29 married with 2 kids. In the last year I've been especially down about myself and my weight. I've always struggled with my weight but it got out of hand this past year at my heaviest weight of 225. After a few months of talking about the possibility of having a sleeve done me and my husband finally came to the conclusion that I would have it done. I had my first appointment in April and was scheduled to have surgery on June 2nd. It has now been one week post op and I'm feeling great and have so many questions! Went for my one week checkup and lost 11 lbs. Not sure if that's typical. Also I am surprised at the amount of energy I have. On top of cleaning everything in my house like a crazy person, I am also walking no less than 1 mile a day. Would love to talk to ppl that understand my new journey!

I didn't feel like myself until about 10 days out. I cried for the first 5 asking myself "what did I just do?" But now 3 months post-op, 45 pounds down, from a size 20 to a 14/12...it's all worth it! YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!

This is your 3rd day out-- it takes awhile to heal. Meanwhile, just make sure you're drinking as much Water as you can and getting as much Protein as possible. The rest will take care of itself!

      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.
