Gastric Sleeve Community Group

Hello I'm Judy. I had the gastric sleeve on 9/13/17. I don't know if the post op blues are normal, but I am having them

I had my sleve done in September of 2016. I began this journey at 280lbs. I lost 20bs over the two year course it took me to finally be ready to have the surgery. I now weigh about 200 some 8 months later. I started out very strong, taking my vitamins and drinking protien shakes however, I have fallen off the band wagon so to speak. I didn't have much support to begin with but I chose to move...

Its been since 11/28/16 since my gastric sleeve surgery. I weighed in at 230lbs & today I weigh 180lbs. I feel absolutely wonderful.  Once cleared with my doctor I joined the gym. I go after work at least 3-4 a week. I still take my vitamins. I try to stick to a rountine of 1 protein shake for breakfast, lunch & dinner 4-4 1/2 oz. of healthy foods, protein most important. Meaning if I have 4oz...

Just wanted to put a note here for anyone that wanders through.  The new site set up can make life.... interesting, shall we say?  Anyways, the sleeve group has always been small, with visitors few and far between. Join us and many of our pouch packing friends at the Gastric Bypass Surgery group.   See you there!

Hi, I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on 11/28/16. Right now I'm on the 2nd day of my liquid diet, so far so good. I have to stay focused. Sometimes I don't know if I should of picked the gastric bypass.  I don't have a lot of support and it would be helpful to get some feedback. Your mind goes through so many thoughts and sometimes its good to talk about it to someone who has been...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and I'm in need of someone to talk to. I'm 2 months post surgery today. I lost weight very rapidly the first month but, I have been stuck between 225-227lbs for 3 weeks now, I'm getting very depressed because I can't seem to get past this road block. I'll take all the advice you all will give me, I don't know if it's something that I'm doing or if this is...

So I am new to this support group thing so I figure I would give it a try. I am going to Mexico to have my sleeve done in 39 days! I am so excited but I have no idea whats in store for me. Does anyone have any advice for me?? All advice welcome! What should I expect?

Hello out there, I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on 8/8/14 and I need a support group. I am a traveling consultant and will not be home when the local support group meets. I am a nurse so the pre-op and post-op lists of dos and don'ts are understandable and make sense. I have ordered my vitamins from Celebrate and also tried their soup protein drinks. The Chicken soup is good, the tomato...

Hi, It looks like we're still in the minority here. I haven't had a difficult transition from liquids to foods, or with new foods, but I do have to watch out for "one too many bites." Especially when I'm late for a meal. It's awful how hungry I get when I'm late and I can rush a bit. Please let me know if there are more of us out there, OK?

Hi, i am on the journey to getting the gastric sleeve done. i was wondering what experiences others have had with this surgery. Good or bad. i would love it if you would share your journey with the sleeve and how it has been going after surgery :) If you have had any troubles? how much weight you lost? how do you feel now after surgery? kinds of things like that. thank you so much for any replies...

I'm looking for support for the sleeve. I hope I found it here. I noticed that a few have had their surgery recently. How did it go? How are ya'll doing?My date is November 13, 2013.

I was just looking for some people having the sleeve procedure. Mine is 8/9/13. In pre-op liquid phase.. reading as much as I can so i can think about the road ahead and learn from others experiences.
