I had to do the 4 classes (which were very helpful and I would highly recommend them) in addition to attending at least one Support Group (I've continued going beyond the one required as I found them even more helpful than the classes). I also had to have blood drawn and an EKG. My PCP also referred me to the sleep lab while I was going through the classes where I discovered I had sleep apnea and was prescribed a CPAP machine.

I have my first group session on November 30th looking forward to learning everything I can. This is a huge lifestyle change and I want as many tools as I can get.

Just got back from my psych eval. Beat my goal weight by 5 pounds and waiting on a call from my case manager to schedule the appointment for my surgery. So excited/scared/nervous at the same time!

That message was actually for the other person who said that they will be in the class on the 29th. When I wrote it I didn't know how to reply on this app but I got it now. Blessings to you as well, take care!

      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.
