*1*- I can still(and do) drink/tolerate alcohol/wine like I use to before surgery.

*2*- I eat whatever I want, whenever I want (except bread and carbo drinks) I just do it in small portions.

*3*- I stopped taking all my Vitamins due to cost.

*4*-I almost never work out.

*5* I feel guilty not telling my overweight adult daughters about my surgery.

I confess: I eat too much still.

I confess: I drink sonic diet cranberry limeade

I confess: I don't count anything( Protein or calories)

I confess: I am a great Vitamin taker & Water drinker.

I confess: to eating 4 donuts last week... In one day.

I confess: I am figuring out I will work harder than my sleeve if I want to lose weight.

I confess that I gained 5 lbs over the holidays. That I fell back into a pattern of grazing. That I eat chocolate everyday again. And that I am finding it nearly impossible to get my head back in the right place to continue my journey. And all of this is depressing the hell out of me which just makes me want more bad food.< /p>

1. I never followed my 2 week pre-op diet and might have actual gained weight.

2. I quit smoking 2 weeks before surgery but cheated at least two dozen times in 14days. Twice, 2 days before surgery.

3. I ate a 10oz steak sandwich, medium rare, and a taco Soup the night before my surgery @ the Marriot in Mexico.

4. I followed my post-op diet up until day 7. I am now eating deli meats, cheeses, eggs and tuna 8 days post op.

5. With the above said, I do feel a little guilty because my surgery went better than expected... Minimal pain, incision healing very well and no need for pain meds 3 days post-op. I have no issues getting in all my Water and Protein 4 days post-op and feel I am going to be one of those guys who can eat anything I want without upsetting my sleeve. Icing on the cake is I have lost 25lbs since surgery... I am 9 days post op. I had my last smoke 2 days before surgery and have no cravings to ever start again.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
