Where at in NYC?

I had my sleeve done back in June and I've been going to the post-opt support group meetings in Queens. Met some really supportive people there.

How are you feeling? I really need to be part of a support group I'm doing this without any support whatsoever

I feel amazing!! The first couple of weeks before and after surgery were tough because we have to do everything we weren't doing before; like Portion Control, watching what we eat and exercising, but it's all worth it. My only regret is that I didn't do it 3 years ago when I first heard about it.

Right before surgery I was down to 322lbs from 352lbs. I had sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Now six months later, I'm down to 248lbs, no sleep apnea, no blood pressure meds, I can even run faster then my 10 year old son. I go to the gym a lot which helps tremendously but even if you just walk everyday you'll feel great! Some have more complications then others, so it takes more time to adjust to your new eating habits but I've never talked to anyone that says they wish they never got wls.

Not sure if you wanna travel all the way to Queens for the support group. Ask your surgeon about any support groups near you. We have one guy that works downtown but he lives in Long Island so when they have the meeting he stops in on his way home. Not sure if it'll be that easy for you

I'm having my surgery on Jan 30th. I wish I would of done last year but I just wanted to do my research and make sure I would be mentally, emotionally and physically prepared. Its a life changing experience that you cannot change back too. I'm having the Gastric sleeve and look forward to the positive changes. I was 245 b4 I went to the seminar, 236 at my first appt after the seminar and now I'm down to 224 lbs. Im so focused , anxious, excited and nervous but it's all to get my health issues in order. I have heart disease, high blood pressure and at the beginning level of diabetes.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
