I got sleeved on July3rd . So I'm week post opt . Im looking for anyone who basically want to be there for each other with support and questions that normal people (ones who didn't get surgery) wouldn't understand. I feel like I always do my best when I have motivation and a support team there for me . I made a Instagram account strictly for my sleeve stuff because i didn't really tell anyone i was getting it. I hate when people say its the easy way out because there is nothing easy about this. So i kept it to myself . So if anyone wants to be friends feel free to add or message me . Im 23 from ny , Im really nice lol and I talk to like everyone

My instagram name is crystallmarie_vsg

I was sleeved on June 21st, so a few weeks before you. Live in NJ and happy to be sleeve friends (if you want a guy's perspective). You can find me on WhatsApp and FB Messenger. Or private message me here for contact info.

The 'easy way out' huh. Meeting the strict guidelines pre-op wasn't easy. Changing our entire lifestyle and diet wasn't easy. Walking into the operating theatre, seeing the surgical team ready to cut us open, knowing life was about to change permanently and there was no going back, wasn't easy. The pain of recovery and having to learn how to eat again wasn't easy. Dealing with the hormone changes and mental challenges due to changing pretty much everything about the way we live was not easy.

Maybe the next time these people speak up we can ask them when the easy part starts, yeah? Don't ever doubt yourself!

I was sleeved 7/7. I'd love to be friends! I'm in central NJ. I've barely told anyone except my family and 2 friends. It would be nice to have someone else to talk to who's gone through it. Even my family, as wonderful and supportive as they are, can't quite understand. It's just something you don't truly get unless you've 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? 🤷‍♀️
