How's it going pre and post op sleevers I've been on here for a while now lurking reading and getting information when I needed it. From what I have read I am one of the heaviest on this forum (at least from what I've seen ) so I decided to share with everyone so I decided to take this step a long time ago but couldn't afford it, then last year I was blessed with a full time job with insurance that would cover some it so I went to a seminar in Dec. Started had to jump through all the hoops. sleep study,nutrition visits ect. Finally may comes and everything is done they submit everything may 6 get a call may 7 I'm approved. So tomorrow i go and sign consent forms and I wanted to have my surgery in July when work slows down so I get a call today and now along with signing consent forms tomorrow I also start my pre op diet for surgery on Monday.....S#$! JUST got real lol

So I guess I'll ask are the any may 18 sleevers???

Congratulations! You have made a decision that will greatly improve your quality of life in many ways. Although the pre-op diet is inconvenient and uncomfortable, it is a right of passage. The new you is on the other side. We call it "the losers bench."

I encourage you to follow the plan that your bariatric team presents to you. It's hard, and sometimes we slip, but you will find encouragement here. Since you have been lurking around, you probably already know that opinions and tact will vary. I wish you good luck and good health.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
