Hi everyone, looking for a positive dedicated buddy in my area-ish. I'm 9 months post sleeve and quite busy with a fulltime job and 3 kids but willing to fit in a partner in crime! texting, buddy calls, gym/workout dates? Looking for mutual accountability and motivation. Please message! Thanks, Lei

Signed up for my first color run in May, san bernardino ca. Can't wait!

Hell yeah! Congrats!!!

I would like to join. This is my first challenge, how do I record my stats? Cw 193 Gw 183 Thank you!!

8 months post op. Is 1200 cals too much? I usually vary between 800-1100 most days but every once in while I catch myself hitting 12, even 1300 per day. Is that alright? Please feel free to slam me. I do not want to screw up!

Hell yeah! Congrats! So funny, I did the same thing. I remember gasping in TOTAL disbelief when I fit into a size 16! keep it up, and keep amazing yourself !! It's a whole new chance at life ♡

Hi everyone, a lil concerned. I'm almost 9 months post sleeve and I've been getting very dizzy almost regularly it seems. I have low blood pressure, usually around 85/56 ish and it seems like nowadays I'm a total wreck the day after a workout. I had to leave work the other day because I was so out of sorts (cold, anxious, blurry vision..etc) it was scary. I've been drinking plenty of water, and just recently tried adding gatorade ( which have me a horrible headache). Any ideas, or similar problems? I'm getting tests done with my Dr, who says my body is changing and these problems may be related to bariatric surgery. Has anyone had any experience with any of this? Your input is appreciated!

Let me know how this turns out for you please. Wondering if I'm not eating enough? Omg I feel so lost, just want to find the right balance so I can get back to normal. Thanks for the input, hope you even out as well:)

So reassuring to know I'm not crazy. I ran out of Calcium and d. Maybe that is it? Dr also suggested liberal salt in my diet and to work or with a gatorade instead of Water, to take it easy with the gym until I know what's going on. All my labs were fine, sodium electrolytes on the low end though. Sending me to cardiology in another week for tests just in case but ekg was fine. Weird.

Thanks Mandie, those are good ideas. I Def want to talk to a nutritionist. I stagger the caloric fluctuation, eat healthy, plenty of protein and whatnot. Pretty active. Thanks for the advice!

Linda, won't shower when I'm feeling faint lol Mlrodd, good looking out. Im pretty religious with my multi but I admit I slack on the others from time to time, because I'm forgetful and busy. Appreciate your input so much ladies! Keep up the good work, much love!

Thanks linda, You're right. I was going to go hard at the gym again tonight. But I think it can wait. At least I know I'm not crazy. I don't have a lot of friends who have had bariatric surgery and I don't belong to any support groups or anything. I feel sure this is somehow sleeve related but everyone acts like I'm being dramatic. Thanks for listening, hope everything balances soon for your husband!

Ndquilter, You look awful!!! Haha Omg this is exactly how I feel! Some told me the other day, " you know you're disappearing? " I say, not fast enough. I finally got pissed off about it and have been going at it in the gym, biggest loser style lol and really watching my diet. Dropped about 5 lbs in two weeks. I'm not impressed. I know we should not be so hard on ourselves perhaps. ..but the thing is, I'm all or nothing. If I offer myself Any leeway whatsoever, I may fall off. And I did not have a life changing surgery for mediocre results. I want to be lean, strong and invincible. Is that too much to ask? ! Keep it up woman, I'm watching you.

I've pigged out enough I my lifetime to feel completely at ease about changing my lifestyle permanently otherwise but, I cannot see how I can give up coffee. Coffee addict. WITH CREAM. is it possible, and when?

Anyone had similar problems? I'm 3 weeks out, today experienced excruciating cramping in my lower abdomen and lower back. Felt like childbirth contractions. Lasted 3-5 minutes. Called nurse she says it may be from constipation? Doesn't sound right. Any stories, ideas welcomed.

Just curious, how much did everyone lose in the first month?
