Congrats and good luck to you. Keep on walking and keep on sipping and use your spirometer if you have one.

Welcome to the loser's bench :)

Thank You Everyone!!!! It's day #6 post op and I still don't have any buyers remorse. The only thing I kept my receipt for is the dreaded old stinky booty gas. I still have a tinge of it but its tolerable. I have done everything from the world wide web, doctors and nurses, this page and my mother's old school Mississippi remedies to aide me. Never thought a classy southern belle like myself would wish for free flowing and easy passing gas. With all that said, I do realize how blessed I am to only have that problem. If it wasn't for old man gas, I would swear on a stack of 15 pieces of bacon and testify to a whole congregation of strawberry cheese cakes that I didn't have surgery. Sure...I'm not really eating yet and just sipping in small amounts but I had no pain from the surgery or incisions. While in the hospital I received a few miscellaneous meds and pain meds for pooping and gas related pains. I came home with liquid pain meds but never even popped the seal. Everything is healing up nicely. I promised not to weigh myself til post op appointment but my pj bottoms feels really lose now. I bought them for the hospital stay not knowing that just because they have a cute little string that they could be pulled tighter. Who makes (designs) clothes for plus size people????

For all of my sleeve vets....I wish you all continued success and to the future sleevers...best decision of my life. I wish you all the best. Stay Encouraged!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
