Hi folks out there. Had the surgery 3/21 and am beginning to regain lost energy. Still feel tired, but better. Have been struggling with slow weight loss. 18 pounds down since surgery, at least another 70 to go. I pray every day for patience. Have to admit I am envious of big loosers. Remind myself that it will come off. Can not walk as much as I would like becuse of herniated disk days before surgery. But did loose 26 on my own preop, and now another 20 postop. Was very nervous before surgery, but am glad I did it. To new to be able to offer any advise. Just happy for this forum.

@Queen of Crop... Comforting, reading your blog...can't wait to experience some of the things you talk about... I am just so glad i got approved for the sleeve because i really did NOT want the by-pass... Not even thought about turning 60.. been putting all my energy into the surgery... Life is good and it is going to get so much better... :)

      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.
