Having Gastric Sleeve surgery today, awaiting to be taken back to operating room. From this day on will be a new journey. Weighed in at 400lbs today at Hospital, started my clear liquid diet two weeks ago and lost 13lbs. I wish, everyone success and best wishes. I've been a paramedic for 26years have always put others first before myself. However, now it's time to save me.

Looking for anyone else being sleeved in January 2017. I will be sleeved on January 6th. Anyone else?

I just had mine done on the 24. Im heavier now than I was when I went in. Its must be because of all the fluids they give you. I hope the weight starts coming off soon

How are you feeling?

Pretty good. I have been able to get 25-30 Protein in the last 2 days each and around 45 oz of fluids, but I'm struggling with the fact that I miss chewing.

Just got home, from hospital. Had surgery on Wednesday. Kept me an extra day due to pain. My surgeon took pictures of the surgery at my request. Which was great to see. As they were doing the procedure found two tumors on my stomach. Those sent away to pathology, won't find out results until next appointment. Curious, if anyone has had problems with passing gas ? After the gastric sleeve. I haven't been able to yet.

My surgery is Monday morning!! What kind of clothes do you all recommend wearing? Are bras comfortable? Gowns or pajama pants?

Hi, all I packed was nighties.. bras for me was a def no no as there is an incision right near your bra line in the middle. And it's a lot easier to lift up ur nighties to go to the toilet then try to bend down to pull pants down.

For everyone that may have missed the invite in the earlier pages, there is a January 2017 Sleevers Facebook Page. It's a secret group (because some people do not want their friends and family knowing) so if you would like to join you can message me with your email address and I can add you.

Could you please add me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
