Was just done Monday. Took some pain meds yesterday but feel better today. Stomach still hurts and I am pretty sore but I'm sure in time it will get better. Not easy drinkingso much but I am mixing 1/2 gatoraid and 1/2 Isopure in a 20 ounce bottle and driking it over about 4 hours. Feel bloated. don't think I am up to driving but I do have my follow up tomorrow so we shall see. glad to hear you're doing well.

So glad you are doing well Pammie. I am one week out today and it just seems to get a little better every day. One day at a time. So exciting to be on the healing side.

I am one week out and just had my postoperative appointment and talked about the "bloating type feeling" and they said that is normal to have that type of swelling feeling as you are given the fluids during and after surgery and it is your body healing itself. It does get better and glad you are doing well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
