Who’s getting sleeved this week? Share thoughts.



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I posted earlier I am getting sleeved this Tuesday and was having serious second thoughts. These boards have been a blessing because I have the confidence now to move forward thanks to some great advice and reading about the good experiences people have had and are having with this surgery and life after. Wondering who else is getting sleeved this week and maybe would like a buddy to talk to?

Honestly, not at all. I am excited. Maybe I will get nervous when it gets closer, but I don't think so. Best of luck to you! Remember- your six months in the future self is going to be so glad you did this!

Yes! I know. I keep thinking about months from now - how I will feel. Trying to keep focused on that when my emotions get the best of me. I start my Clear Liquids tomorrow. Thanks for the response!

Luck to you too! Thanks for the encouragement. I had to travel for my op so I'm away from the majority of my support group. Glad I joined this forum!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
