I'm so pumped. First two days sucked majorly but I'm awake today and walking around, releasing my trapped gas. So on a whim I decided to weigh myself. I'm not sure how accurate it is bc it's not my scale from home but at any rate I'm down approximately 17 pounds!!!! Give or take a few bc it's a different scale. Either way I'll take it. And that's with all this air in me. I can only imagine what it's like in a few weeks once the air is gone. I'm beyond happy!!!! Woohoo!

Well that weight loss includes preop diet. Again im at a different scale then I usually weigh at. I'm just glad to see it go down some. I'm curious what my first post op appt says. Either way the pain is worth it

The best part about the first two weeks is that the weight just melts off! It's enough to keep you going through the 3rd week stall.

Congrats!

I left the hospital 10 lbs heavier than I went in due to Fluid retention. My IV hand was so swollen it looked like a baseball mitt!

Because I am still carrying belly bloat I haven't weighed myself because I don't "feel" like I have lost anything. I am sure I have...how can you not when you don't eat any food...but I will wait till my appt on 4/15 to see.

Congrats to those that are losing! I hope to be a loser soon too! lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
