First I want to say happy surgery day to all the sleevers going in today! Good luck and here's to a safe outcome and recovery.

Mine happens tomorrow. Is this really happening? I feel like the rug is going to be pulled out any minute now. It still doesn't feel real. It probably won't till I'm in recovery lol. I'm struggling with hunger and what I should pack. This is my first surgery and im getting kind of nervous. Not just about the actual surgery but losing my friend food. My life changing in what feels like an instant. Anyone having surgery tomorrow? I know it's for the best but I just never thought It would effect me like this. Anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement? I feel like im going to miss something.

I'm leaving for the hospital in a few minutes. Don't think of it as losing your love of food, look at it as in making better choices. You will be great!! Wish you all the best for tomorrow.

@@Torriluv87 you will do great! Mine was quick too. No food funerals. Bam...two week diet and surgery. But I think it's been better that way. Cold turkey is usually the best way for me to quit something. I sitting in the waiting room now about to head in.

Hi guys!! So I got sleeved at about 8 am. I've been sleeping off and on most of the day - this is my first time looking at my phone. Not being hungry is the strangest feeling! The gas pain is tolerable - hasn't headed to my shoulder yet so it's all in my abdomen. For any ladies that have had babies - to me this feels like mild contractions that are just always there...ooh! Or bad period cramps. Thank you all for being my support I hope everyone else done today is feeling good and everyone yesterday. Everyone else: you guys got this! Our futures are limitless. Love to you all.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
