Ok so I ate some food yesterday for the first time. I feel so much better. Today I drank a carnation instant sf Breakfast drink with some soy milk and ate mashed potatoes twice today. I had a great day and even went for a walk. So believe that man cannot live on Water alone. I am so happy ready to go out and have a good day tomorrow. Tomorrow I may go to the beach and watch the sunset or may be go watch the sun rise on Wednesday. Never knew that food was such good fuel. I sound like a kid who drank a big cup of coffee. No caffeine here. Thank you God!!!!! I am myself again.

I am so glad to hear this, I knew you would bounce back!!

Omg!!!! I start my 2 week diet 2mar!!!!

You can do it. I'm only 5 days into my liquid diet and I've already lost 16 lbs. My doctor has his patients do Optifast. Five shakes/soups a day. They are tasty and I drink TONS of Water in between. Hang in there! You got this. Just have a few "death row" meal nights leading up to it! Lol

Question here...I was sleeved on the 11th. Have had no major pain issues and having no problem with getting the fluids down. Doc fixed a hiatal hernia at the same time. Anyone else not having Fluid intake problems?

We had the exact same procedures done. :)

I'm drinking fine as long as I remember not to gulp. :)

I'm ready for the full liquid diet bc I'm feeling my tummy rumble a lot. How bout you?

Finally home and sleeved but it was far from a walk in the park!! After my 1 night in ICU I was still vomiting and wasn't released to the ward until 6 pm. I had a shower and settled in to try and get some rest but continues with the nausea and vomiting of my own saliva all night long. At this point I was due to go home but clearly this was impossible and my Dr came and prescribed yet another drug that seemed to settle me down and being totally exhausted and feeling like death I slept most of the morning. In the afternoon I slowly began sipping liquids again and only got through half a bottle of Water but continued to ease overnight. As I could tolerate my medications (in soluble form) and a small amount of dairy I was allowed to go home. Today has continued to be rough and water intake has been near impossible - however I tried a lemonade icy-pole and it went down easily. So now I have has 2 and figure any liquid will do me until my stomach settles. As I previously had a band, my Dr said that the stomach can at times be extremely sensitive given that there is always some remaining damage from the band. All in all I figure I will just need to progress more slowly through the phases and not rush my new stomach. At least I am home as the extra night was not good for my 3 and 5 year old boys who were already missing me terribly ...... wishing everyone a much easier time than I have had!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
