I am! January 30th. I'm so nervous, but so ready. I've never had surgery before. But I'm confident in my medical team!

I just had mine on the 30th! How are you doing?

I’m 4 weeks post op.. but day after surgery my CO2 was low abnormally and I had to get extra iv and it was low but normal low.. yesterday my primary told me to get blood to see if I was okay and my co2 is still low but critical but I’m worried .. anyone else? Everything is fine my b12 is a little high but all my vitamins are great my liver heart and kidneys also good and my wbc is finally normal .. anyone else with low co2?

Just had mine Jan 31st 2023

I have a question to everybody:

I am 4 weeks out and already back to exercising (I have been exercising regularly for 2 years and is quite fit for my size). I am instructed to eat no more than 600 calories a day but I am already burning more than that working out (today I burned 1000 calls at orange theory then 400 doing Krav Maga (self defense) class). Is 600 clas enough? I am not hungry and have lost 21 lbs since op day. Thanks!

I would check with your dr for sure (and report back). I routinely walk over 10k steps (a week post op now) and wonder what will happen when I bring lifting. How have you been feeling post work out?

Very good! My energy is through the roof. I guess eating healthy and avoiding sugar really changes the game!

I'm 5 weeks out and my Dr and Dietician said I should be consuming 800-1000 calories a day.

Hey! How is everyone doing? Today marks 2 months since my sleeve and I've loss almost 50 lbs from my pre-op diet. Overall, I feel great. I go for my blood work tomorrow so I hope everything checks out OK with that. I walk about 3-4x a week and attend a weekly Water aerobics class. I have to "UP" my exercise routine but as a mom of 3 (youngest being a toddler), it's just so hard to find the time. The weight doesn't slide off the way I envisioned, you definitely have to put in work to lose the weight but I have no regrets.

Hey! Any January 2023 sleevers still hanging out on this forum? How are you all doing?
