New me after 7

Genagee

Greensboro...

I'm on my fitness pal...how do you get friends?

I'm 7 weeks out and haven't lost anything in the past 4...help!

Thanks guys for the encouragement.

I hope so...It's frustrating tho. I'm thinking I'm doing everything I'm supposed to but...Nothing!

Hi everyone...I was sleeved on 4-25-13. I started at 317 pre op. Surgery weight was 309. I'm now 288 which I'm so happy about however, I've been at the same weight for 3+ weeks. At my checkup I was told I needed to increase my calories to 1500 from were I was at 600-800. I also workout at minimum 3 x's a week. I weigh myself once a week (well maybe 2) and I'm so sad. I've been looking around for weeks on this site for pointers but I haven't found something to help me break this stall...please help me guys! Sigh* Thanks in advance....

Thanks guys. I usually do a little bit of resistance. I walk on the treadmill for a mile and 8 miles on the bike. Both are about 20 min each. I'm trying the eliptacle but can only do like 3 min cause my chubby legs feel like jello lol my stamina is getting better the more I go...

Hi everyone... I was sleeved on 4/25 was down 28.lbs including 6 with pre op diet. Weighed today at the gym and gained 3 lbs. I hope it was because of what I wore...

Well guys I'm still in the hospital...hope to go home tomorrow. I feel a lot better!

I had a problem with nausea an vomiting and some blood pressure issues. I feel better now. They just brought me a barbaric tray. Been npo since Wednesday night so Imma see how this goes.

Hey guys...I had surgery on Thursday the 25th and I'm still in the hospital...Sigh*

Had surgery yesterday and I felt like I was gonna die afterwards... but today I feel lil better. So Happy to be moving forward...

Thanks you guys!

Hello all, I report to the hospital in the am @ 7:45...

I'm up right now too but my surgery is tomorrow. So many things going through my head. I've had surgeries before but somehow this feels different... I don't even know how to describe how I feel...

Hi I'm from NC too...Greensboro. I have my surgery next week. Maybe we can be pals since we're so close. I don't see too many folks on here from NC, just a few. I'm Happy to know that there are so many success stories but I'm afraid that I won't have enough knowledge to do what I need to do as far as post op eating and drinking...

Hi everyone...kinda new to the site and I'm from Greensboro. My surgery is on April 25th and I'm excited. I'm glad to see there are folks in my area.

North Carolina...anyone else from here?

Congratulations... you have a date?

Oh wow...you look great! I'm shaped like you were and I hope I look just as good down the line...congratulations!

I have the same insurance and I was approved in a week. I found out this past Wednesday!. My process went very quickly since the seminar in February and I'm super excited! April 25th is my date...

April 25th...

Hi everyone, my name is Gena and I'm in North Carolina. I'm 40 years old and I'm the proud mom of 7. My oldest is 27 and My baby is 7. I've been looking around this site for a few weeks after I found it doing research on the sleeve gastrectomy. I started my journey in February of this year and I got my approval today. My surgery is scheduled for April 25th. I've been overweight most of my life and I'm at my highest 316. I have a few health issues I hope will get better with losing weight as well as my self esteem improving. I love this site. I see there are some positive helpful people here and I look forward to taking the journey with all of you!

Thanks guys...I see that this site is gonna help me make it through what I think is going to be a very eventful journey. It's good to know there is a forum out here where we can share and help each other because I don't know too many people personally that have had this type of surgery.
