you are all so inspirational! I love reading your responses - im hoping to set a march 6th surgery date (will know on Monday when i go for my 2nd consultation) - so of course im a little nervous about how i will feel after the surgery - someone said that "stairs" are out of the question - well my bedroom is downstairs and feeling nauseous is a concern. After reading these responses, i think i will be just fine!!!

We live in a 2 story home, I had no issues going up or down the stairs. I would go a little slower than normal but not a big deal. You are going to do fantastic.

Those stairs will get your heart rate up so count it as one of your brisk walks! It helps u feel better. Tiny exertion on ab muscles will keep the repair moving. I actually prefer yhem now over the escalator or elevator. I just put my " slow moving vwhicle" sign on and get to moving lol! You will be fine hun.

I was sleeved on 2/14. Home yesterday. I'm a bit sore and a lot tired but nowhere near as bad as I expected. Anyone else freezing? Stairs have not been a problem for me.... AND 4oz is now SO MUCH MORE than I thought before surgery! :) Before surgery I thought "how am I going ton ONLY drink 8oz?" Now I'm thinking "How am I going to drink 4 oz?!" Lol!

im setting my mind that it wont be as bad as i think - yeah, stomach soreness of course, but i really do have a high tolerance for pain and i do recouperate pretty quickly. I'll be sure to post when i get to that point. Mind set is everything!!

First post op visit! 25lbs since I started all my paperwork in August! 7lbs since surgery :)

I certainly get hungry but Doc says its in my head. When I think about that I think musy be crazy cause I believe I know when my stomach hurts from hunger. Oh well, got a Prilosec rx, we'll see if that helps.

Well not to brag but everyone is calling me a rock star! 30 hours after surgery and I am ready to go. Just waiting on a ride. I have had no issues with nausea or tolerating liquids or meds. I get to start puree tomorrow.

When do you get to start solids? My doc recommended a 21 day liquid diet....thankfully, I'm halfway there (surgery on Feb. 4). Do you think some "real food" will help being so tired?

Oh - and am tracking my blood pressure, believe they will lower my BP meds next week!!!!! I have lost 21 lbs with surgery and pre-op diet!!! :)

      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.
