Yesterday was my first post op doctor appt. I was so surprised when I stepped on the scale. 21 pounds in 10 days! What an amazing feeling. That makes me even more motivated! My doctor said I am ahead of schedule and everything looks good. Got my steri strips removed and I'm finally starting to feel better.... I don't want to get on a scale again until my next appt in 3 weeks. Good luck to my other sleevers!

That's great news :) also I hope I won't be attached to my scale. I only weigh myself once a week but notice when I'm dieting, I weigh myself like daily maybe even twice a day :/ ( bad habit ) !

Good luck and hope your recovery continues to be lovely :)

I am 8 days post op and had my clinic visit this morning. I am down 16 pounds since surgery. I was very proud of myself for being so compliant with the diet (and that is not typical for me to be compliant!) but come to find out only now am I to add back the Bari shakes with almond milk. I have been making those since about 3 days post op. I confessed to my slice of cantaloupe made into a smoothie and they were not real impressed with that. Oh well, my recovery is going strong and for another week I get to have what I have had for most of this week. Minus the cantaloupe smoothie! It is OK to add strained, cream Soup. No regrets about the surgery. In fact, I go long stretches where I forget I had it and think I am still waiting for it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
