Here I am post op finally and I admit it has been a rough day. The gas pain has to be the worst but they were right you can literally walk the pain away. I started walking about an hour after I left from the recovery and haven't stopped. I walk at least 15 mins every hour and I feel fab! The only thing they will give me until tomorrow is those little medicine cups half way full with crushed ice. That is fine with me though cause food is the last thing on my mind. They also changed my diet to just Clear Liquids, no Protein for a week or Vitamins which is weird. The staff has been amazing I have a giant private room with free cable and wifi.... Well off to get some rest an I promise to keep everyone updated!

I found that hot packs on my shoulders were extremely comforting on my shoulders for the gas pain, nothing else really helped.

      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.
