great job i hope i have similar success im about 300 having my surgery march 7th why do you think u lost this much this fast anything would help thanks

Joe:

I don't have any particular words of wisdom. I generally followed my doctor's instructions and tried to read as much as I could about the procedure and the best post op behaviors. I did drink a lot of Water and other fluids in the beginning. I did a fair amount of walking in the beginning, but I can't remember when I stopped doing so on a regular basis. Other than that, I have really not exercised that much. I am trying to change that and have just started going back to the gym as I'd like to lose another 10 lbs or so. People do tell me that men have an easier time losing than women, so at least we have that going for us.

Good luck to you and keep us posted on your progress.

      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.
