Hey July Sleevers - anyone else REALLLLLY tired of clears and ready to move into fulls?

My surgery was July 6. I'm doing okay - ups and downs. Going a little crazy with trying to get in my Protein and liquid. I miss food!

What's up with you guys? Kaus and Want2Be - we were all the same week - so I'm wondering how you two are?

I'm 6 days post op and dying here. I cant wait to advance to full liquids. Maybe then I will get in more than 5-10 g Protein. Having an impossible time getting even close to the nutritional requirements this week. Good weight loss though. I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow but I think it's too soon. I'll decide later today.

When I was on liquids only, I gave up trying to get in the recommended Protein. I wasn't able to even come close until I moved to mushies.

Forget about getting in the 60-70 gms. of protein - I am on mushies and still can't get in all of my protein, although it is easier than it was on clears and fulls. Bearded doesn't seem to be having any trouble getting in his protein though - he can tolerate the Protein Drinks, where I can't. He also doesn't have any trouble swallowing either - which makes it easier!

lucky for bearded! Tonight I feel a lot better. I have taken some veggie Soup and strained it. Just had the broth from that. Cheating a little? Not sure, but it sure helped get some nutritional in me besides water!

No that's not cheating - the broth would be considered a clear liquid. You can add in SF Jello-O tomorrow.

Thank goodness I had no trouble tolerating the Liquid Protein drinks. I really liked them and that made recovery so much easier.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
