Thank you Kristi! I've done pretty well so far. I did have some stomach spasms and left side pain for about two months after surgery but all of it was so worth it!! I still have a lot to lose but I feel awesome. So much better than before surgery. You will be able to for sure. The sleeve is the greatest tool. I feel so blessed!! Thank you about the hair. I did have to have 4 inches cut off because it was coming out so bad but now the Hair loss is slowing down. :P

Your doing great!! I had my surgery May 18th and have lost 60 pounds but hit a stall about 6 weeks ago. :( Do you stay within a certain amount or carbs, calories, and Protein?

Hi, I actually hit a stall as well, I think. I try to get in at least 60 to 80 grams of protein. I usually don't eat carbs if I can help it and I don't count calories. I think if I were counting them I would be getting between 600 to 1000 a day. Somewhere in between. I hope for the both of us we break our stall soon!! I know people who have lost 100 pounds since May. I try not to compare myself but I do. :)

Left side pain for 2 months? Ohhh. I'm 3 weeks out and tormented by left sided pain. Anything help alleviate it, or did it just disappear one day?

Btw you look great!

Thank you! :)

Yes, I had left side pain and man was it hard!! I thought something was wrong. Even had a CT scan to see if anything would show why it was hurting. It didn't. So, I just started putting ice and a heating pad on there every chance I got. It seemed to get worse with exercise so I didn't move around alot when it was hurting. It did finally go away about 2 to 2 1/2 months out. There is hope... hang in there. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
