Newly Engaged and Sleeveing next week



Recommended Posts

Hi all... 7 days to surgery date, and my bf proposed last week! Yay!!

Of course, the moment you announce an engagement which stops the "when are y'all getting engaged?", the question is "when is the wedding?"

Since I am getting my sleeve surgery next week, we are trying to make sure that we time the wedding enough post-op to not cause too many issues.

For those of you who have had the surgery, do you think that the process of losing and planning a wedding might be a bit too much?

We were thinking about a year or 1.5 years from now. I think that from a weight loss perspective, the bulk of my loss will happen by my 1 year surgiversary, correct?

I'm basically looking for recommendations on if you think 1 year is long enough to wait, or if it should be a little longer.

If you are thinking about having the wedding approximately a year to a year and a half after your surgery you will be fine!! By that time most of your weight loss will have occurred and your stomach healed so you can partake of some of your yummy wedding food.< /p>

One of my best friends just got married last weekend and she is 15 months post op!!

Congratulations!!

my wedding took 1.5 years to plan and pay for so just be prepared for that we had a small 70 person family only wedding and had the reception at my house and it cost 15 grand so if money is going to be an issue for you i would wait two years

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
