Today was my Sleeve surgery and I feel great (probably due to the pain pump). I am so excited to finally have taken such a positive step in my life. I can't wait to be able to sit in a chair without fear of breaking it. My son is about to turn two and now I can help to instill healthy eating habbits. I'm just so excited for the future.

To share a success. I lost 20lbs from the liver shrink diet alone. Now just 50 more lbs and I'll be out of the 300's.

Thanks for reading

- Geo

What an inspiring post. In just a few sentences you managed to convey humor, hope, and sweet fatherly love. You have an amazing attitude that will serve you well in the months ahead. It's important to maintain a good sense of humor and to know when not to take life too seriously.

My crystal ball tells me that you have a bright future ahead of you. And a bright future for you pretty much guarantees an even brighter future for your darling little son. Just think of all the other things (besides sharing good eating habits) that you'll be able to do together. Let's all hope that your son will be able to keep up with you!:D

You know those stunt chairs that break easily in the movies? Those will be to only chairs you'll be able to break in the future because the others will be too sturdy for a slender young guy like you.

Don't disappear on us, okay? We want to hear from you regularly.

It's also time for you to start paying forward by helping others who are struggling. Not everyone has your courage. Yet. This forum needs more male participation. Someone could be lurking on this forum right now... hoping for the kind of encouragement you have to offer.

Thanks so much. I will try to do exactly as you say. I've seen a lot of people on here who could really benefit from some words of encouragement.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
