Do NOT get discouraged. Keep the goal in sight. It will all be worth it...trust me. I stuck to my 7 day pre-op diet & lost 10.2 lbs. That was so cool. Now, I am 17 days post-op & I am down a total of 20 lbs. I feel great & have lots of energy. I feel in control for the 1st time in a very long time!! I control the food now-it does NOT control me.

I questioned myself.....for about 5 min! LOL Because I am a food addict & a binge eater, I knew no conventional diet would work-I have pretty much tried them all. If I had all the money back that I have spent on programs, pills, etc....I could retire. This surgery was the only thing I knew would allow me to get a handle on my eating issues. You ARE making the right choice! Do NOT kid yourself that you can go back to eating the foods that got you here in the first place....I did ALOT of research before I decided to do this & everything that I read says if you start eating bad carbs (breads, rice, Pasta, pastries, etc.) you will put the weight back on. Once in a blue moon as a treat but not on a daily or weekly basis. Those that have failed like to blame the surgery but when they are honest-it is what they ended up eating.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
