Sleeved in December and I feel amazing



Recommended Posts


Yes siree bub. I just turned 60, and as kids were told, guilted really,, that we had to finish everything on our plate because "children were starving in Korea.", so I did.

Not only that, but I finished everyone else's plate as well.

Saving children in both north and south Korea was my goal.




Same problem!!!

I had a stall. About a 2 weeks ago.. stayed the same for about 10 days.. that's ok.. I stepped up my exercise.. I have a Fitbit, that was a great investment:) keeps me moving. If you don't have one I would definitely suggest picking one up! Now my scale is on the move again. I hit my first goal.. u see 200 pounds;) first time in 7 years:)

The hunger we feel during the pre-surgery diet, does it feel the same after surgery? Meaning is it a struggle when you smell foods and watch others eat. I am on day 11 of full liquids pre surgery. It's been tough the last two days not to take a bite out of everything I see.

No, the pre-op diet was rough for me too, but it's much better after surgery (for me at least).

Thank you:)
Products: none
Exercise: to lose the 50 pounds I just get moving. I have a Fitbit. As long as I was over 6500 steps I would lose the next day/) I'm starting the gym this weekend. I go on hikes and I have so much. Ore energy so I move more
Meals: normal just smaller. Still don't eat rice, Pasta or bread.. or I should say very little. Protein first chicken, fish, things like that and vegetables.. fruit.
Protein shakes: Premier Protein.< br>ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1488211536.723196.jpg.852d6e077b38bb5cec118be048cced82.jpg hope that helps. Ask as many as you would like:)

Your story is similar to mine as well. Lost 10 lbs before surgery. I was sleeved December 7th 2016. I have lost an additional 43 lbs which is 50% of the xcess weight. Started working out, jogging, and yoga. I feel amazing. I agree best decision EVER! Congrats on your success and keep up the good work. Hard work=success.

Congrats I'm so happy for you!!!

I was sleeved on December 14th, lost close to 50 pounds so far. A little concerned because I had a stall for almost 3 weeks and I didn't know what to do.. then I checked the scale like two days ago and it started moving.

Any stall problems??

Also anyone that has second thoughts about the sleeve like I did.. get it! Best thing I've done for myself health and confidence wise.

I was extremely weak from chemo and I have myasthenia gravis (causes weakness). I have to argue with myself to exercise. I am walking and moving a lot more. But do need to get into a better fitness routine.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
