hey ya'll got a question and it contains some tmi....sorry! days 1-4 it was most uncomfortable to drink, last night i had my 1st bm since being sleeved, it was such a relief!

today i have been drinking on some crystal light lemonade, I guess the taste is better than Water to me cause I notice I am taking in more and i have not been sipping.

anyone know if this is ok or are you supposed to sip always?

Well, no you won't have to sip always, but for now I think you should continue with small sips. :)

CONGRATS on your new SLEEVIE!!!

I saw my doc 3 days after surgery and was strongly reminded to just sip. 1 ounce every 15 minutes and 4 oz per hour. At most 1 extra ounce per hour. Not to try to fit it in faster or go over on that amount. Overall daily goal is a minimum of 48 oz if you're up for 12 hours. 64 ounces takes 16 hours. I will admit it's hard to sip but /i found a couple of very small glasses that hold only 2 ounces. I fill that up and stretch it over 1/2 hour. I don't keep the Water bottle at hand, but have to walk to the kitchen to get a refill.

I'll admit it's hard to keep the pace slow and I especially miss taking large swigs as I take my walk. But I surely don't want to put to much stress on the stitches these first couple of weeks nor stretch out the pouch. I just keep in mind that this is one step along the way and soon I will be able to have a bit more (but no more chugging beer, lol).

      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? 🤷‍♀️
