very disappointed

Sorry hon, don't give up. I would find a more capable doctor for the second time, don't go back to the same one. I went to Dr. Dietrich in Tampa Florida [emoji6]

No, honey, stay encouraged. Keep moving forward. If you need to, go to an experienced surgeon. Don't feel embarrassed. I'm glad you were able to make it this far and I'm glad the surgeon was able to stop at the right time. Keep pressing forward.

That must have been incredibly disappointing. I am sure your surgeon did what he thought was best for your health and safety, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. Please don't give up, though. Hang tough and work to lose the weight by sticking to a post-op style diet of high Protein and low carbs. Use this time to practice and develop the good habits that will make you successful once you really are able to have the surgery.

I'm so sorry for you. I can imagine how you must feel but remember why you chose to have the surgery in the first place. Let that be your fuel for success. We all have a journey - for some it was easier in retrospect but we all have a story and this is yours. Be your own strength. Yes you CAN do this and if you really want it - you will, too! I believe in you.

xoxo

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
