VSG July 5th, looking for buddies



Recommended Posts

Well, the big day is about 30 days out and I am getting more and more excited. Being overseas for my husbands work doesn't allow for much of an in person support group, so I am looking to find some buddies here. I know that there will be struggles and challenges and then there will be victories. I hope that I can find some buddies to share these experiences with.

thanks!

Hi I am July 5th too! I think I am more excited than nervous. I am ready to start changing.

I have not been happy in the place that I have been in over the past 10 years.

So when I think of losing this weight I feel excited, I am a little anxious about what it is going to be

like the that first few weeks and first month.

I don't have to be on a preop diet but thinking I should start going low carb and giving up caffeine and sugar. I have been eating horrible out of nerves and knowing how my lifestyle and diet will be changing, I get anxious but then thnk of how unhappy I have been. I know the first month will be hard but I know it will get better each day, I have been trying to research everything. Do you know what Protein shake you will use after surgery?

Hello all, If all goes well with my EGD on June 21, my surgery date will be July 5. So excited and would like to join your buddy group. Personally for me, It really helps to have others to talk to that are going through the same experiences and to be able to pounce ideas off of when I am unsure about something.

Hello July 5th surgery buddy! I would be happy for you to join especially since our surgery is going to be on the same day! How exciting! It does seem to make it a bit easier having someone to bounce ideas off of and just to go through this journey with. It's going to be a struggle at first and the support of others is what will impact us the most. Yay! What are your starting stats, if you don't mind sharing. You can always private message me too!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
