I agree with Deb. It may be rough at first but you'll be back to normal soon. I woke up feeling like I had been run over by an 18 wheeler. But it gradually got better. Now, life is great! Enjoy your new life and let us know how you're doing when you're able to.

Thanks so much, everyone!!!!

I had a lot of pain in my shoulder from the gas on Monday and Tuesday, so the doctor kept me another night. Was definitely ready to be sprung by the time I left on Wednesday! Still had a lot of pain until yesterday, but some retail therapy (and walking) and getting cozy with my heating pad really helped. Also had some tummy issues, but I'm pretty sure it was the sucralose in the Water ice, I picked up because it stopped when I stopped having them. Not hungry at all, but am anxious to move on from Jello, broth, Water Ice, and Isopuke. broth mostly tasted like dishwater until I figured out that I should use stock instead and add some spices which I strain out after heating. Still working on getting the spices quite right.

Congrats! I got sleeved the day after you and it sounds like we had very similar experiences. I had to stay and extra day because of pain from my diaphragm area and I also had shoulder pain until last night. I did find getting out and about did help last night as far as feeling better, but I really feel sore today from it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
