Hi. I too started with same weights as yourself.

My surgery was on 10th March 2016 and today I'm down 20lbs. So i am now 227. I do expect the loss to slow down as I will be eating a bit more as the weeks progress onto more solid food. But good luck, you're going to be fine x

Bey Opal Chick - how are you feeling energy wise? I'm a week out and get tired pretty easily - I was super active before surgery so it's a little frustrating needing a nap every day.

I'm feeling good regards weight loss surgery but I'm suffering from a separate issue in that I need a total hip replacement. Surgery scheduled for 25th June, so I feel tired from the every day effort of just moving about. Everything is such an effort and I'm now using a cane. I had to stop taking anti inflammatory tablets a week before gastric sleeve surgery. So it's hard to say whether my tiredness is due to such a low calorie diet or my hip. I'd say take a nap if you're able. I also went back to work 10 days after surgery. I'm exhausted some evenings so have early nights. Come June, things can only get better. And for every single one of us who has decided to undergo serious surgery as a last resort to help control our weight (a decision not taken lightly) I'd say all our lives WILL get better. Some journeys more difficult than others, but nonetheless we're all in this together. So keep going krissy34, you'll be fabulous x

I had surgery 3/15. I too needed a nap ever day for at least a little over a week. Once I was able to get more Protein in I felt so much better. Water is still hard to drink all the ounces but I'm doing my best. I am on pureed food now which helps a lot with energy. I am down 19 lbs since surgery and total of 30 lbs since December. Walking alot helps. I wish you the best in your new journey. One day at a time.

March 24 sleevers (or close to that date):

How much are you exercising (doing cardio) and what are you doing (walking, running, bike, elliptical)?

Hello! I also had my surgery on 3/24 and would love some support buddies!

I'm 46, 5'4 and starting weight 256.

Hey Krissy34 I'm also a middle school teacher and had to go back to work 5 days after surgery and I was the toughest week ever! I was totally exhausted but I made it and so will you!

Good luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
