Hey guys! I'm getting sleeved July 1st. I have a BMI of 68. I'm in several groups, and I haven't seen anyone similar to me. I'm 26, 5'2, and 368 lbs. Anyone with similar stats??? I would love to make some friends :)

I am quite a bit older than you, taller, and started at a considerably higher BMI and weight than you. But, I am fairly close to your weight now (I am down over 200 pounds from my highest weight).

I was sleeved April 20, 2015.

Best of luck with your surgery!

Oh my gosh! You're doing amazing! What kind of exercise do you do? And how did you feel right after the surgery?

I'm doing great. I only am going to weigh in at my monthly check ups. I did a 10lb loss in 10 days post op at my first check in. My clothes are not tight anymore, so I go back the 23rd and I feel like I lost 20ish pounds from last check up already. So by the 23rd I would expect a 25lb loss from the last weigh in.

You'll do great! Only regret was not doing this sooner.

Thank you. I feel great and am regaining my mobility.

My exercise of choice is swimming.

I started with deep Water aerobics and weights and now I do a mix of swimming laps, deep Water aerobics, and water weights: almost all of my exercise is in the pool.

I had a great experience with my surgery, recovery, and progress. It was my first surgery ever so the worst part of the whole process was some delays due to financing issues and the pre-op uncertainty.

Post-op, I had a sore shoulder from gas and a little bit of Constipation.< /p>

The hardest thing was drinking water.

It has already changed my life and it is only going to get better.

Swimming has always been (and remains) the only exercise that I actually enjoy. There is a Water Zumba in my area that I really want to try.

And thank you guys so much for posting! I feel a lot better now that I've heard from you guys :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
