Funny thing is' date=' prior to surgery I never liked ice or anything too cold for that matter. I always went with room temp liquids. However, now ice has become one of my favorites. I am in love with the sugar free tropical flavored popsicle. Yum. Feel better!

Thank You! I'm feeling much better! I go on power walks and I'm doing just fine!

I have hit a stall! I think because TOM, but I don't care I'm still thankful for my current progress. I lost 13lbs in 12 days post opt and 26 total from my starting weight! Again I'm happy! Praise God!

OMG' date=' i just ate a grape!! I totally forgot for that 1 second. I'm still on the liquid diet for another week.[/quote']

I forgot I can't "gulp" Water and on Sunday while running errands I had forgot my handy candy cup that doesn't allow gulping so I got a bottle of Water at the gas station and took two giant drinks and the pain didn't hit until the second was on its way down. Needless to say I switched back to my cup after that.

What's a candy cup?

Well, I'm more worried about not being able to eat the grape since I'm not supposed to eat any solids for another 4 weeks. I don't want to have eruption of the staples :/

I have them on and off. But when I eat mashed potatoes that seems to help. Hope that helps!

I had the runs 3x a day for the first 2wks. Then Constipation for 10day after being switched to stage 3. Now I am pretty regular.

I did the same thing last night. I was distracted while taking my reflux meds and took a big gulp of water. It hurt as it went down but only for a few seconds. Then there was a lump, like a marble, in my throat. It's just below my breast bone and I feel it mostly when swallowing. It doesn't hurt and I have no trouble swallowing liquids. It is very uncomfortable. I've tried gas-x, warm broth and walking. Nothing is helping. It's been 14 hours now. I'm getting a bit worried. I hope I didn't mess something up. I wonder if I should go to the ER or maybe call my Dr. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
