Surgery went great & I have very little soreness between my upper stomach & breast bone. I think it's just a small gas bubble. I would say my worse pain is my throat from the breathing tube & its not terrible. I have no complaints at all at this point. Truly blessed by how simple & hurt free my surgery was:) I did find out yesterday that I received an 11cc band & I think he put a little fill in during surgery. I asked when I had just gotten back to recovery & to say I was still loopy @ that point is an understatement. I remember asking though. I just wished I could be certain about the answer lol. I will ask today when they call to check on me:)

How is everyone feeling today?

I am much better today. No pain meds & managed to go grocery shopping with the family. I'm getting an appetite now but it's still hard to get much down. I have managed 1/4 cup of broth, 1/2 Protein shake & 1/2 a Gatorade. I hoping to manage a little more broth for supper.

I am feeling pretty good today. I have had a bottle of Water, a Protein Shake, and some cream of chicken Soup. No pain meds here either. Still having some "gas" pains when I take a drink. Its more pressure in my chest until it works its way out.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
