Okay I am going to the doc for my 2 wk post op visit and I feel like there should be things I should ask him but can not think of anything...... What did you ask your surgeon?

At two weeks...I just wanted to have the assurance I was doing everything right and my incisions were healing right. I can't think of anything I asked. As long as you know the next visit, the lifting exercising requirments, next steps of the meal plan...I think you are set.

I had no questions for my doc. I had no complications and I had realized that the doc's all had different opinion's on diet and transitioning to different stages in our diet. So I basically wanted to know if I was doing what I was suppose to. oh I didn't follow the rule on waiting 10 minutes between each bite. I still don't. ;)

I didn't have any questions. I was on track and just grateful for the assurance that I was on track!

Remember that everyone is different and will have diffferent outcomes. My doctor asked me things like was I getting enough Protein and Water in. He looked at my insisions. I had more questions for my nutritionist than I did my surgeon.

My main question was now that I have a smaller stomach how will that affect me doing manual physical labor in the humid heat of Louisiana summers. He said that was an excellent question. His response was that I have to stay ahead of the game more than others. The potential to dehydrate is far greater for me now than before. He insisted that I drink water 24/7 as much as possible to avoid severe dehydration.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
