Hi and welcome to the forum! I'm 12 days post op and feeling great! Down 17lbs so far, and pretty happy about that. Physically, it's been easier than I expected. Mentally, I wasn't prepared for the challenge. I miss eating, and chewing. I've been dreaming of it. I think as soon as I get to the mush stage, I'll be much better. Having support is the key. surround yourself with like minded people. This forum has been a big help also!

Welcome! I had my surgery Feb 9th, 2012 and have had no issues at all. Of course the first few days I was a bit sore but nothing I couldnt handle. I was up and about at the hospital walking around an hour after getting back from surgery,it helped since it hurt my back to lay in the bed too long ( hospital beds arent known to be too comfy!) Best of luck to you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
