Welcome to the losers team....I know that it is hard right now. Try to stay positive, walk, and sip. The Gas X strips I still use they are a Godsend . You are going to feel a little better everyday. If you have any questions or need to vent we are all here for you!

Congratulations! Those first couple of days make you go "What did I do?" But, it is all so worth it. Around day 4 I found myself thinking ... "this isn't so bad". Just focus on walking and sipping as much Water as you can.

Welcome to your new life!

I found the gasx chewables way better than the strips. Try both to see which is better. You'll feel so much better once the gas is out. Glad to hear all went well though. Welcome to the losing team ; )

Oh yeah I felt that way to. I did the gas-x and heating pad. Also I walked even if it was just to the kitchen or down the hall. I even walked around in the front yard. It does get better. Hang in there.:D

I am super impressed with you!! I couldn't even look at a computer to type words...I was soo loopy. It will get better every single day!! I had BIG regrets after surgery. I hated not feeling like myself. Now I am almost 11 weeks out and I LOVE my sleeve. I am never hungry and I have confidence that I never had before. I am learning how to eat out and I am not feeling "deprived" anymore. Keep up the great work!

I feel like I am having BIG regrets after surgery too!! I can't stop thinking about what an extreme measure I took and did I need to take it this far!? Let me just say, I am not even a week out. I had it on Monday and this is Friday night, but I am just anxious to get through these liquid stages and mushies and feeling normal eating real food. I know I will get over this. I am just freaking out a teeny tiny bit! No going back now, so time to work the sleeve! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
