Hey Doxie,

Congrats on the 50lbs:-)

I am a newbie sleeved Nov 7th.

Just wondering what my future may have.

How is your eating now?

Does it hurt to eat?

Are you eating real food?

Thanks for any insight, good or bad

Hey Doxie,

I was sleeved 8/31 so I just made it :) I'm down 32 pounds since surgery. I wish it was more but I'm a slow loser.

For imabear,

I can eat almost everything, but in very small amounts. 1/2 a scrambled egg is plenty. If I eat too much I get a stuck feeling in my chest. Gotta take it sloooow when eating. I overate one time, talking while eating, and the pain was incredible! Took about 20 minutes for it to pass. I hope I never feel that again.

Hey, did you have surgery by the Dr Hanna in Las Vegas? He's an excellent surgeon.

Hey amykins! I think i've seen you around the forum. :-)

Imabear: i had it pretty easy. I was one of those whose doc did a long postop diet. It was about a month before I ate solid food. So when I did, I was ready. I've never overeaten, have never hurt my tummy or sleeve. I do eat something every 2-3 hours bcs I get hungry. And I am back to eating my pre-surgery pace. It doesn't take me long to eat.

The only issue l had was 6 weeks post-op my gallbladder had to come out. That slowed down my weight loss a bit bcs I couldn't exercise.

It's a great life, being a sleever. ;-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
