My name is Peggy and was sleeved 8-19-2015.I have been over 400 twice in my life.This time I began at 379 @ the age of 57.Ten years ago I lost 175 lbs in a support group to gain again to 379 .Age and loads of medical issues caught up with me.I had to do this or have no quality of life. I feel grateful because I don't have that nagging feeling of being hungry 24/7.

Hi Peggy. I was 54 years old and 356 when I was sleeved 2-25-15. I am 7 1/2 months out and have lost 106 pounds so far! BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE (other than becoming a nurse)!! I obviously still have a ways to go but I feel great and realize this is a lifetime journey not a race! So glad you made the decision as well!! ????

      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.
