How have you been doing since surgery

I'm doing great physically, emotionally I am doing okay. I had a mini breakdown on here yesterday lol, but I am better today. I struggle with the Protein and liquid intake, but I am going to push forward. i guess I just needed to hear everyone struggles and is blah sometime. I dont miss the junk food, I miss meat and salads. I know that I will get to eat it though in about 3 more weeks, but after yesterdays issue and everyone telling me I needed protein, I did eat a couple of spoonfuls of refried Beans and felt 100% better. So now I know I have to have the protein. I prepared myself for this surgery, and knew it would be hard, I just needed to throw a little fit with people that understand and knew what I was going through..lol

And throwing a fit is just fine. I've had several since surgery in January. Do what you can and it will get better.

      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.
