Can you tell us a little more about life with your sleeve at six months out?

Thanks Sleeves Sisters I still keep pitching myself. Humpty I can feel my hip bones and in the right light you can see my rib bones on my chest I'm 54 and just discovering how different a 54 year old body looks from a 30 year old body. You and I are both shorties and your weight is close to what my sw was I can not imagine that I am anything but average in my weight loss so hopefully come Christmas you will be in the forties!

Sleeve4me you already are there remember you are 3" taller then I am which makes you weight loss at 6 months ahead of me.

At six months out I pretty much eat whatever I want within reason. I will always have to watch slider foods I try to stick with the Protein first rule with every meal. I start almost every morning with a Protein shake. I plan my meals ahead of time as much as I can if we are going out I'll check out their menu online. I go out typically twice a week and I have never had a server make a comment. I walk 5 miles a day five days a week but to be honest I don't think the walking is much of a factor to my weight loss since I have been doing the same walk for more then 7 years and I imagine I am burning less calories walking at 146 then I was at 208. Hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
