Happy to not be able to post until 18 months post op, but at only 4lbs from goal, being able to view vet forum posts would be extremely valuable.

I agree with the gender specific areas as well. I suspect most folks don't realize they are posting in the wrong area but if you are in the women's room or men's room specifically, you should not have to read posts from those of the opposite sex.

You'll talk about us...

Tease us...

But that's ok...

That's why I tagged you, @@KindaFamiliar -- you're almost 18 months out.

After all, EVERYBODY will be there soon. :)

I would definitely like to be included. I'm 25 months post op (although I'm revising from sleeve to RNY because of GERD . . . would that make me a newbie??) I think there are definitely issues that only face those of us father away from surgery. Thanks for making it based on surgery date and not number of posts . . . I read way more than I post.

I'm just so glad that I will be able to read the Vet posts! I need you guys!

I still have a long way to go, at just over 3 months post op, but I value your experiences and knowledge.

So happy with the decision :)

Otherwise I would go into Vets withdrawals ...... with not much to read .....

Thank you all!

Eh, not so much with the vet group. If you don't want to read about d*ck size you know to stay out of the guy's and you don't want to hear about monthly's you stay out of the ladies room. Veteran's issues seem to be across the board IMHO.

@@Alex Brecher There is only one naysayer so far in four pages. What does that tell you? :D

And who, pray tell, would that be?

Hmmm. *Rubs chin*

Hey, I was an early adopter after @VSGAnne weighted in

18 months is smart. I'm 20 months but alas, BP will not let me sign in on my iPhone and I HATE this Kindle. I'm posting less and less because of it.

      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.
