oh, i am so very sorry. i had surgery on dec 6 and was following the plan without too much difficulity but when i transitioned into the 5th week everything stopped and headed in reverse every time i ate! lordy that wasn't fun at all. i was so sick and dehydrated after not eating and drinking for 3 days that the hospital couldn't even get an iv started when i went in for my second surgery to correct a stomach stricture on jan 18th! i was placed back on liquids only for a week and then have been only on soft foods until i see the dr for a follow up next tues. i'm still struggling to get enough Protein in every day even with adding Protein Powder to my food. i'm trying hard but i'm getting so frustrated with the fact that i still can't keep everything down. :( even the meds they are giving me to coat my stomach to help me to eat now makes me sick. not much fun right now but i'm trying to stay positive. i follow the drs orders, attend my group meeting, exercise and i really believe this rough patch will pass--lets hope sooner rather then later though. good luck with your future journey!! :)

wow, sounds like my journey... I also had to be re-hospitalized for dehydration. I can relate to the IV, same thing happened to me. The doctor instructed me today to drink milk all day nothing else, drink a gallon if I have to. That will satisfy my Fluid and Protein daily allowance. I wonder what is wrong with our stomachs that they are so sensitive.

I'm really starting to hear that. I wonder why that is happening. I hope your doctors are monitoring you. Hang in there!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
