So sorry. I was sleeved the same day and went back today as well. My stomach is still a little sore and I'm kinda tired. Otherwise I think I'm ok. What kind of work do you do?

My sleeve was Apr 17 and I went back last Thursday (because I had used all my time off I had accrued). I was too soon. I made it trough the day, barely. But I haven't been back. I am determined to go back tomorrow. Desk job and great boss and coworkers. They prop me up. So, I'm going to do it!

I was sleeved April 3, and when I went back to work I felt the same thing. First of all, going back to work kicked my ass!!! Second, my muscles felt bruised and sore. I think a lot of it comes from not consuming enough food for energy and then the rapid fat loss leaves our once "really" padded muscles less padded.

As of today, I'm down 30lbs total!! Woohoo!!!!

Had my two week post op appointment last Friday. I am doing great, he told me I could go straight to solids but I'm going to wait another week or so because of the swelling I have, kinda hard to swallow solid. I'm back to walking 8 miles a day while wearing a 20 pound vest, and once a week I wear my sauna suit along with it just to sweat out any toxins that my body has in it. He also released me to go on full blown without sessions that I will be staying this week.

Also, for anyone out there that is still sore/hurting. Remember, the more you walk/move around the faster that hurt/sorness goes away. I was walking 2 miles the days after surgery

      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? 🤷‍♀️
