Hello everyone! Had surgery on the 29th everything went well. Due to hurricane sandy the hospital and surrounding areas lost power so I had to stay an extra night. It's only been a couple of days but everyday it gets better. The gas pains are no JOKE! I've also been struggling to get all my liquids in. I will keep you all updated :)

I am 3 days post op too. They released me from hospital but offered for me to stat another night. Hospital staff so short handed I wanted to go home so I would gave more personal care.

I'm feeling good... def gassy and sore. Trying to get all my fluids and Protein in, you? Also they didn't give me a leak test after surgery because machine was not working or expected to be working in near future -- that really concerned me but my surgeon said I was ok.

I have no appetite as well and the smell of food makes me sick lol. I was also unable to do the leak text because of the power being out. Make sure you both keep me updated and good luck!

I'm using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder added to broth etc. yuck :-) I wish I could sip on a Protein shake but no until next week.

I'm so happy you are both doing well.

GAS X STRIPS were my best friend the first two weeks after surgery. Happy to hear that you are doing well! Don't be too hard on yourself regarding getting all your liquids down- it's tough,I remember taking a sip and having to wait at least 10 minutes before I could take a sip again. Now I am 2 months out and can take two gulps down at a time. So it will get easier.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
