Hello, first off everyone is different and lose weight in different amounts, some folks lose more in the first 2 weeks, some lose less. . . you'll see at your first doctors visit. Is it painful? Well again, every body is different. . if you can tolerate pain or not is the question. . .for example I was up and walking those hallways 6 hours after the surgery, yeah i felt like a bus hit me, but i also knew that if i don't get my fat butt out of that bed i'd feel much much worse. . . so walking is very important early in. . .and take your pain meds. . . don't be a hero that way. . . i took it really easy, i don't like my job much , so i took 2 1/2 weeks to recoup. . . it was really really nice to have done that. . . plus by then you've lost some weight and your co workers actually notice! but seriously now, make sure you get up and walk after surgery, helps with gas pains and the healing process. . . also sip sip sip. . . you won't feel like it, but DO IT! you'll feel much better. . . good luck and your going to do great! Your on your way to thinness! YIPPEEEEEEE

Sorry that made me giggle :)

As for pain, I would say uncomfortable is more of the word most use. It is just an odd feeling of gasy bloatedness.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
