Hello and thanks for the note! I hope you are well. I have done well post-op. Today is 2 weeks and although I have only lost 10 pounds (which is little compared to the average I am told), I am happy. I feel great, with little pain. I have one complication with a hematoma (old blood pooling) under my incision. I go to the surgeon tomorrow to hopefully get it fixed. It has been draining since Sunday which means antibiotics and dressings etc. I am on a pureed diet and tolerating it well but find it a challenge to get all my Protein. So far I have managed the 60 grams just barely almost every day. The Fluid for me is easier because I sip all day. Let me know how you are doing! I will be praying for a great experience and quick recovery!

Sincerely,

Nancy (mambomama)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
