My surgery is Jan 24th and I started with coughing and congestion the Monday before my pre op diet. I had to stop my pre op diet so I can get some real food into me but I'm trying to stick very close to high Protein and no sugars and fats. I still lost 2 pounds. My sore throat is getting better. No fever. I still am a little congested and a lot less coughing. I am going to another state for my surgery and I'm praying this won't make for a delay. I am going back on my pre-diet tomorrow. Thank God for this 3 day holiday! I hope you feel better and please let me know what happened.

The cold didn't delay me but I sure did feel all the coughs post-op! Tomorrow will be one week post-op and im planning on going back to work... I hope everything goes well. Had my one week check up today and the Doc says Im doing great, he wants me to increase to 3-4 Protein Shakes a day. So far so good!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
