I tried vanilla muscle milk and wanted to vomit! It tasted sour and yuck. chocolate went down better. I also got some gatorade g2, because I am scared to death that i will get dehydrated. I got up this morning and went to kroger. I was getting all kinds of stares because i know the clerks are used to seeing me zip around the aisles 4 nights out of the week, and I was walking like a snail this morning. I stocked up on food/drink for this phase.

on clears until monday then I will make 1/2 batches of frosty shake. The Isopure grape isn't that great, but I added Grape MIO and it is much better. I am downing liquid with no problem really. 1/2 sf cherry Jello made me extremely full and that = 1-3/4 ounces.

Monday I will try a real shake. I'm very flemmy still and I have post-nasal drip and i cough a lot, though I have an inhaler and use the spirometer a lot. I'm worried about the shake causing more conjestion. If this isn't better by Monday I will call the surgeon, to have a chest xray and make sure I didn't end up with pneumonia. I did all the right things, I walked and sipped, and used spirometer.

Re-read your post-op paperwork. That will tell you whether you can start shakes or not. It's best to follow your doc's orders. If you have any questions, call the nurse or office tomorrow morning.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
