6 days here too! And yes! I would LOVE a scrambled egg, or a some Soup or something not designed "to run through a straw" --- bleck! .....On the plus side I lost six pounds this week, so a pound a day :) Hang in there all.

I am six days today and feeling ok. I think I let myself get very dehydrated and Monday I started paying the price for it. Nauseous and very weak. I have been pushing fluids, well actually my mom and sister have been pushing fluids on me, and I am feeling much better ths morning. I finally feel like this was a good decision again. Man yesterday I was regretting the whole thing! I actually joked with my sister that if I died she had to find a way to bury me in the size eight skinny jean I brought before surgery! I will get in to those jeans somehow!

Whew, glad I am feeling better this morning. I will never understand why dehydration makes you nauseous, seems so counterproductive.

I am also 6 days post surgery and I hear you about the mushies. Yesterday was a bad day for me. I am on 2 bp meds and my bp fell to 79/57 and I was dehydrated. I hadn't had a bm since surgery and finally started the night before, it was diarhea and I think it added tothe dehydration. Ended up at the acute care of my health plan had 2 bags of fluids and had to lay on my back with my feet up to get my bp back up.I have to stop my bp for awhile but monitor it so it doesn't go up too high.

Today all is well, I feel great and counting the days to mushies.Hang in everyone, I see the light at the end of the liquid tunnel and it is bright!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
