Not nervous. Ready to be done and to learn how to eat better with the sleeve. Praying for a fast recovery.

Not to worry, the hard part's over. You can handle the rest with ease. Congratulations on the first day of your new life!

Doing really well all. There's pain but probably only because I'm pushing myself. The pain from the CO2 isn't bad because I'm walking a bunch. Meds going down well and staying on top of them. Hoping I can feel well enough to get back to work ASAP.

Glad to hear all is going so well. Keep the updates coming :). I am in the last batch of April sleevers (26th April) - you are all trailblazers and I can't wait to join the journey!

Yup, my wife is a nurse and she had the band a few years ago, so I know all about how that gas pain looked, and so I was up and moving as fast as I could. It's been a few days now, and honestly, I'm surprised at how well I feel! My doctors did an amazing job, and the pain meds are doing what they should. I'm not pushing myself too hard, but just taking it easy and letting my body heal. I told my boss I might have to take some days off this week, but it's looking ilke I'll be able to go back to work on Monday! I won't be able to lift anything, but I'm an IT guy, so I can work from my computer.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
