I love port! Back off Iggy :P

LOL Laura I didn't say not to drink it, just not to lump all wine in with it :P

BTW I do too LOL But I must admit that whenever I've had a lovely enough evening to warrant the port coming out I always say yes and I ALWAYS regret it LOL And don't even mention a cigar when I have a port....they go hand in hand or head in toilet for me LOL

Since the surgery I haven't had a port though. I really don't do well with high sugar content and think it might cause major puke factor. Have you tried it since surgery?

My moms best friend didn't lose much... So I probably won't. And, a friend of a friend had gained it all back - so I will too- cause fat people have no self control. It's who u know huh?

Nobody in Dr. Davidson's office told me any of this stuff. It might have made me have 2nd thoughts if they had!!!

Here's one - that you will feel great in no time, like a day or two, after having major surgery where they remove 85% of your stomach. Your energy level will through the roof!! Geeze....hate to admit it, but I was really hoping that one was true! Um, not so much.

This a not a legend... But it doesn't happen to everyone. I was completely normal when I woke from surgery and had a ton of energy. From that day on I have been on the go.. Even very active in MX and San Diego.. Nonstop. I went down there with the mindset that I didn't want to waste a mini vacation opportunity and did exactly that. Hopefully this happens to a lot of people.

Wow, lucky you. :) Felt like crap for at least a week. It took me 3 weeks to almost feel normal and the 5 months to have a lot of energy. I think the high energy comes with regular exercise. Myth!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
