I was sleeved June 10. Loving it! So much easier than I expected. Very little pain and no nausea. Was hard to get in and out of bed at first (those sore stomach muscles but that went away yesterday. Other than a little soresness from my daily injections, I feel great. The post surgery Water gain was frustrating but now that it is gone I've lost an additional 7 lbs bring in my total weight loss to 39 pounds so far. I'm enjoying the Protein shakes and I'm never hungry. Every day I find clothes in my closet that are too large -- and clothes that I had saved from many years ago that now fit me. This is fun! So, I hope those of you about to be sleeved also have a great experience!



Anjahaga -- post on here a lot and that might help you feel less alone.



Wanted to share a fun thing I found -- If you go to www.newlifestylediet.com you can put in your start weight and your goal weight and get a virtual picture showing how your body looks at start and end place of this journey. I'm keeping mine where I can see it each day to provide extra motivation. (You can also use the site to track your weight. You can ignore their diet and products.)

MP104- Of course you are nervous. You are having surgery and it is normal to be nervous, I was very nervous too. That said, it went so much easier that I had anticipated and now only 11 days post surgery I feel great (other than soreness when I do my daily injection -- only 3 more days of those.) I wish you the best. Focus how great you will feel a few days after the surgery and how fantastic you will look a few months later! I wish you the best!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
