Two days out and I've changed my bandaids on my still mildly fresh incisions. Very little bleeding, and they are starting to itch a bit, which is a good sign they are healing. I still have abdominal pain and I feel like I can feel the band in my body when I breathe in deep.

I skipped my Protein Shake today- not because I forgot, but because I keep looking at the powder and it just doesn't seem very appetizing mixed with water...stuck to Crystal Light Peach Iced Tea (supposed to be really good for your skin) but I got really hungry, but was able to ignore the hunger because my stomach hurt more.

Went to work today, came home early because I was feeling nauseous. Will try and go back tomorrow, but I really don't feel like it.

Things I'm looking forward to...

1. I've been perving out on this website (can be found on my blog http://skin-e-girl.blogspot.com/ ) because it has amazing photographs of food and most are very healthy. Its inspired me to start my own herb garden- which will force me to get outside and do some productive physical activity.

2. For the pain to finally go away fully and for quick recovery (no more scars, no more hard belly, no more feeling the band inside my body- I want to feel like its not even there)

3. I can't wait for this liquid diet to end in less than 2 weeks. My boyfriend says its really killing him to see me not eat anything and I keep assuring him I'm fine with just liquids and I can't eat solids yet. But I seriously can't wait to eat a spoonful of Peanut Butter or oatmeal...

  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.

  Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
