So, I am 12 days out of surgery and for me in a week of full liquids which started last Friday. The first week I did great for all my fluids in and by the end of it I could eat a cup of broth, without a problem. Then week 2 started and while I struggled the first day to get my Protein in the next 3 I was able to 60 or above without too much trouble, in fact on day 10 from surgery day I got 600 calories in! Then comes yesterday, day 11 and I can't eat ANYTHING! I tried a Protein Shake couldn't finish but a 4th of it and I felt sick, I tried unflavored protein in a smooth Soup got two bits in and felt sick, I tried a greek yogurt bar, which i had been anle to eat all of a few days ago, got a 4th into it and same thing. Everything hurt going down and made me nauseous. End result is after walking yesterday I had a net calories of 28 and only 20 grams of protein. I feel exhausted and frustrated! What am I doing wrong? Do I force it down even though it might make me ill? Is it ok for some days to not be a protein success? I don't want my body to eat my muscle! I just feel like a failure for not doing my one post op job and exhausted from trying so hard to no avail!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
