Hey guys wow i had long time without using this app. I'm so happy im back. I was sleeved on 4/23/2013 i was so depressed i wanted to die because i regretted the surgery. I use to think that I was not going to be able to eat or drink anything ever again but i was wrong. I was 200 pounds in April and now i weight 120 pounds yes 120 i cant belive im a size 1 in jeans and a xs in shirts it's unbelievable. 8 months ago i was so depressed and now I'm the happiest women alive. I give thanks to god for helping make this decision it was hard cause the first 2 months after the surgery i was really bad i got admitted like 3 times to the hospital and i had my gallbladder taken out. But i forgot everything already im so happy. Thanks to god and my doctor in mount sinai hospital in New York. I feel so happy and so healthy now i can do whatever I want with my two beautiful daughters. I love them thank you god for everything. Also i wanna give thanks to this forum because you guys helped me a lot the first few months. I am so proud of myself. <br><br>

That sure is encouraging---- i am 8 weeks out -- doing better -- BUT nothing taste good ---the only good thing is i am down 45 pounds..

I am a little over 11 months out. I've lost all the weight I want to. I am 5'2" and my highest weight was 205-210. My smallest was 113. Today I am at 115. I still have a lot of mental work to do.

Fran you are so encouraging, I was sleeved on the 17 of this month. It has been sooo hard with pain, dry mouth, discomfort, hiccups, burps, the constant rumbling in my stomach, and wanting to eat. I feel like you did once, why did I do this to my body? Will I ever eat again? I know it's still rather early for me but I'm just ready for the next phase without the pain. You have done so well with this, it gives me Hope. Thanks

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
