Looking for buddy and/or mentor - sleeved 12/7/2016 :D



Recommended Posts

I'm being sleeved on Dec. 7th (just a few days away!). I would love to have a buddy that is being sleeved around that time or has been sleeved recently that can help make the transition easier by having someone to chat with. I'm also open to having a mentor who has gone through it and can help me with some of the problems or questions I may have.

I live in Minneapolis, Minn., right now. I work from home as well, which gets a bit lonely and I know going through this transition without having the distraction of work and co-workers sounds difficult :(

Thanks everyone! :D

Hey! I was sleeved on 11/28! I was kind of looking for a buddy too! How are you doing?

I also work from home too! I get the lonely! I am 30 years old, female and live in Tampa, Florida! Let's be friends!

I'm getting pretty freaked out as the days get closer to the surgery... only two more to go :blink:

How has your recovery been and the first week of post-op?

I meant to say pre-op diet sorry ladies! My diet allows me to have 2 shakes and 1 small meal so I picked up some Weight Watchers Meals and I think I goofed I just had one with Pasta and it has 38 grams of carbs. I won't be doing that again! I am ok so far day one started with a bang and my cycle to top it off. I had my shake this morning and so glad I can have Decaf coffee trying to load up on my Water intake to be nice and hydrated. It's so nice that you work from home I get to every now and then so I made sure to stock up with things here at work. I have a question did you practice on eating and drinking to prepare for the surgery? I try to chew things and count to 30 but it is hard!! And as for sipping and not gulping that is even harder for me I down a 16oz bottle of Water in 2 drinks (if I really want to). I have a couple of weeks to get ready so I will continue to chew chew chew and sip sip sip!! This day is half way over! Have a wonderful day ladies!

I can't be much of a mentor (sleeved 10/26/2016), but almost through the reintroduction diet phase. I'd be pleased to answer any questions based on my recently having gone through it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
