Technically, if you tell someone..."I'm losing weight because I've changed the way I eat", you're telling the truth. You should be able to say it with confidence and KNOW that's why you are losing weight. The tool you have is your business.

I could also use a buddy! My egd is August 6 and sleeve August 19. I'm no spring chicken (60) but admire those of you who are changing your life at an earlier age! I'm excited and nervous. Since it took since January to get insurance approval some of my family have known I was considering surgery but few know I have a date set. I have support from my husband but like most of you, our families are worried about our health and/or have their own agendas.

Hi everyone im looking for a sleeve buddy to write to about experiences my surgery is july 16 cause no family or friend understand why im doing this...... just looking for positivity

Thanks

Hi! my surgery is tomorrow as well! I have only told immediate family members, so my support group is limited. Where are you from? I'm from the Houston TX area.

I'm from The Woodlands and just had my surgery on July 15th! How are you doing?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
