Finally got a surgery date! YAY! Now I want to start a FB group for Aug/Sep/Oct sleevers; thoughts?



Recommended Posts

OMG y'all! I finally have a date! September 10, 2018I was so ecstatic yesterday I couldn't contain myself. I know Ylime started a forum online (that I am part of) but would any of you sleevers be interested in a Facebook group for August-October? A friend told me to look there for a group that is having this done at the same time as me but one doesn't exist so I thought why not create one? Let me know your thoughts y'all, I am going to create it this weekend if there's enough of you interested. :)

Congrats!
On the FB Group, one might exist already.

Thanks Matt! My friend (she had the sleeve done in December 2018) was saying to find a group of individuals who had it done right around the time I am going to get it done. That way we can have someone on the same path you know?

Ok I’m on my 4 th day of 2 week liquid diet pre surgery and feel pretty good have lost 5 pounds already. Keeping calories around 850-1000. And today I’m so not hungry struggling to get up to 700callories. 3 shakes 1 Jello 1/2 cup. 1 cup fat free Greek yogurt which I haven’t eaten but did count the calories. 68 oz Water and 1 dill pickle. Has anyone else just not be having hungry on pre op ?

There’s 3 August 2018 FB groups I’ve found so far, but I didn’t look for any September or October groups.

I understand that... but with how often people tend to "fall of the face of the Earth" with WLS stuff, those pages get unused really quickly. I've been in several over the 8 years or so I've been dealing with WLS's and it's always the same... a short period of activity followed by a very steady decline in participation. The open, non-specific groups have better, more consistent usage.

The only October 2018 gastric sleeve group on Facebook, right now, is for Australians. I'm afraid I'd die of jealousy about their health care system, so if your September group grew to include October sleevers, @KatallacStrong, I'd join it. :)

(If you want to stick with just September folks, that is also totally cool and fine. I am capable of creating my own group, if I really need one, or waiting until someone else does. 👍)

I'm having my sleeve surgery Sept. 19th, 2018. I'd be interested in a Facebook group if someone starts it.

I am having surgery Sept. 18th! Literally have been stalking this forum for a while till I saw this. I'd be interested in a discord group even. Or a few buddies around the same time frame.

      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.
