I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

We leave at noon on 21st

Shucks! It would have been fun if we could have met up for coffee and meet in person! Maybe this summer in Gulf Shores!

Hey everyone!

Thanks to everyone who replied to me a couple weeks ago, I just wanted to followup!

So the crazy nausea and cramping I was getting was so atypical because I'm actually having crazy lady problems! Relieved it wasn't a botched sleeve that has been giving me trouble, but nervous about my poor uterus! I have been bleeding for 31 days and had to get a biopsy yesterday - yikes! I'm only 22. So fingers crossed that is ok. So I've been finally able to keep food down this past week. Now I need to focus on getting in more protein! I'm down 34 pounds since I was sleeved on 10/7. Only reason I lost so much was because I was basically only drinking water until about a week ago! I was actually dangerously hypokalemic for a while there and had a couple ER visits... it's been a journey!

Fingers crossed for good biopsy results!

Can you link your new stuff up with myfitnesspal?

The polar loop is but I can only find the scale that goes with the other tracker (Withings).

Amanda how tall are you?

4'9" unless I tippy toe...I usually wear heels lol

Hey everyone. Just wanted to touch base with the energy thing. I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I was always the first up. When my alarm went off I was a wake. Not now, but once I am up I am ok. Not to tired during the day. Boy when about 7 or 8 pm. Comes around I am done. All I want to do is sit and sleep. At least I'm not dragging all day. This is our first thanksgiving without our son, so I don't have to cook this year. We have a friend that owns a really nice restaurant and he has a special thanksgiving dinner. So my husband and I are going there. I get to nibble off his plate. Thanks for everyone who chats on here. I don't always have time to reply, but it is such a help to read what and how everyone is doing.

Why did you ask how tall I was RG?

I had a dream about you last night and you were chasing me through the woods. I kept hitting my head on limbs and fell down. You walked up and said why did you bang your head so much. That is why I asked.

Your are short but well proportioned. If you know what I mean.

Haven't you ever heard great things come in small packages! !! Yeah I was walking right under those limbs????

Thank you sleeve surgery that pic was 28 pounds ago! !!!

I bought some oatmeal, instant chili packets for lunch (not bad) and some vitamins. Everything got here super quick, and they included a couple samples of calcium chews and shakes.

I have been taking Mirolax in the mornings and it has helped keeping me regular. Any of you have issues with being regular with your BM. My RN said if if I'm not going every three days I should take Mirolax.
