Hello all, my name is Cindy from Michigan. I am here to make friends and get information on the gastric sleeve surgery. I am somewhat familiar with bariatric surgery, I work at a local hospital as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am here to gain knowledge, friends and advice for my journey. Any help and knowledge is helpful. I hope to meet some new friends.

Hi Cindy from MI, I'm Linda from KY. I was born and raised in MI in a suburb of Det. Welcome to the forum of everything to do with gastric surgery. There are many different forums on here from what to eat, drink to what Vitamins are suggested. Even people telling before and after journeys they are on.

It's a great site that I have found to be very helpful in my pre surgery journey.

You have a question or just want to rant then go ahead, someone on here has been in your situation.

Welcome to begiNning your new you!

Linda

      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? 🤷‍♀️
