Feb 9th Sleeve - Friend or Mentor Needed



Recommended Posts

Looking for a friend or mentor to lean on during this process. Sleeve scheduled for Feb 9th 2017.

41, married, 3 boys 17,15&3, 5'5", 235, Atlanta area, LIBERAL-just putting it out there. ;-)

That is me and my sister this Christmas on the slopes in WV. She's around 115 and says things like..."you're not fat, you're beautiful." I am beautiful but I'm sick of being fat.

PM me!

I had surgery 5 months ago - I'm a single mom of a 16 year old son. I'm more than happy to answer questions or just be here for support! Best decision ever!

Good morning from the loser's bench. Today is the 3rd post-op day for me. First day I bombed at getting the minimum amount of fluids and protien (33oz Fluid and 11 oz protien). Yesterday I reached my goals.

Good job ladies. I am 4 days post op and haven't been able to get much down. Yesterday I believe I got 20 ounces of crystal light down due to stomach spasms. Today, I am doing much better. I have gotten down 2 popsicles and 5 ounces of Protein. We Got This!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
