I started my clear liquid diet today...I hope I have the strength to make it through to the 25th!!

You can do it! Every time you resist the urge of the old life you are retraining your body. Prepare yourself that the first four days are awful. Protein and fluids are your friend. :-)

Take a tablespoon........ if that does not get the "movement" going, take another TBSP... remember MOM is your FRIEND........ Stay close to the bathroom as she will make you RUN, .. BUT you will be so relieved and HAPPY that you took it...............I did not KNOW this PRE my surgery...... and OMG............ I know what $hitting a brick feels like......... I even gave myself enemas...... it was SO PAINFUL......... they did NOT HELP................ MOM LOVES YOU...........and will make it all RUN smoo0ooothhhhhly......... just stay close to the bathroom. UNTIL u feel good enough to go a FEW days..... take MOM......... you have to keep the stuff moving OUT....... SMOOTHLY for u to FEEL GOOD

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
