Hi! I'm scheduled to be sleeved on May 2nd. I'm looking for buddies who are getting sleeved around the same time. Doesn't need to be on the same day. Looking for others who are like me, more relaxed, and whose program is not Keto and super low carb. My program and nutritionist promote moderation and healthy choices.

I'm 38, stay at home mom of 3. I like video games, anime, Buffalo sports, reading, writing...I'm working on trying to enjoy working out. I talk to my best friends a lot, but one is thin and really can't get everything I talk about, and the other is plus size, but accepts that about herself, and in fact, seems to try to avoid talking about the surgery with me other than wishing me the best. I don't want to push it, I was really uncomfortable once at the notion of WLS . Having someone who understands and is going through a lot of what I'm going through to talk to would be really helpful.

Hi! I'm May 2 as well. Our backgrounds sound similar - I talk to my friends a lot, but I know what you mean, they don't quite get it. I'm 39, have two boys and work outside the home. (Just went through a divorce, but it's for the best, so I'm ok with that.)

I'm ready and very excited. Haven't decided the route I'm taking yet, other than healthy eating post recovery. I have just learned to like the gym and overall healthier lifestyle.

Would love to share our experiences and help keep other on track. Maybe through FB as this gets very confusing with all the threads!

How are you all doing? I'm feeling mostly good, just some soreness, and a bit of nausea. My tummy doesn't seem to like anything but sugar free popsicles.

I'm not hungry at all, but my head likes to play games. It's not terrible though. The fact that I'm already seeing my weight drop helps. I was only 5 lbs heavier after surgery from fluids, and they dropped within two days.

I'm really looking forward to moving without pain though.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
