Good Evening Everyone,

Well today is my one month post op and I weigh my self today and I have lost 45 pounds. I thought I was dreaming. I had to have a friend to make sure I was awake lol.....The breakdown is 31 pounds preop diet and 15 pounds since the surgery. OMG it has been whirlwind month. My surgery was 5/4 and I was interview for a promotion at work on 5/3. Well I got the job. I think it is a good omen. I am starting a new life in more ways than one. I feel so much better. I have never felt better in such a long time. Now I do have my days, I say to myself what did I do, especially when I see something I really want to eat. Then I say to myself this is the new lifestyle I have choosen am I am going to stick with it. I never finished anything in my life I have always quite half way through. I am not going to quit this for sure. I am still on a full liquid diet. I will visit my dr on Friday I hope the diet changes. If I every see another can of chicken noodle Soup I will scream :rolleyes: . Well enough of rumbling on. I could have not made this far without the support of this forum. Thank you to everyone who has answered questions when I needed. I am sure I will have more in the future.

Have a great week...

Connie

You go girl! Wow, your doc is even more conservative than mine- I got mushies at three weeks (Monday) but FOUR weeks of full liquids- wow! Do you get yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.? Do you add Protein powder to your Soup, etc.

Keep it up!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
