June 21 sleever. I have lost 27lbs since surgery day. Haven't really exercised due to lack of energy. I drink 2 premier Protein drinks & 1 Greek yogurt to get 72 g of Protein. I drink about 1.5 L of water' date=' MD recommends 2L. This past 2 days I haven't drank much Water, no good.[/quote']

Have you tried Vitamin B12? That's what helped me so far for energy

I was sleeved on June 26th. So far since preop I have lost about 33lbs. I usually get up eat scrambled egg or cottage cheese then I ride my stationary bike for 15 mins. Then drink Water till lunch which I will have tuna or chicken salad on two saltines and go swim for a little bit and for dinner have salamon' date=' cottage cheese or some baked Beans if I haven't gotten all my Protein I will have a Protein shake but most of the time I have been able to get the amount of Protein my doctor wants me to have and then ride my bike again for 15 mins. My doctor had me walking right after surgery for exercise I was to walk 3 10 min. walks a day but I find I enjoy the bike better. The more you move the better you feel. I do have a hard time getting in all my Water on some days. Good luck and keep up the good work.[/quote']

That's awesome! Keep up the good work, I'm also staying active

Was sleeved on June 26th. I didn't have to do a preop diet other than the south beach diet phase one for 1 week before surgery. Was 188 day of surgery and today I am down to 171. I am only 5'0 and when i started this journey in April I was 212 lbs. I have been having trouble getting all my Protein in too. I can't drink the Protein Shakes anymore. They make me nauseas. I try to have foods high in protein for all of my meals and drink milk. I have my 1 month follow up on monday and will ask about protein then. According to the meal plan they gave me, they want me to drink a protein supplement until 4 months, I really don't see that happening if I can't tolerate them now!

I am lucky. I have never had anything that made me feel sick.

I am 6 weeks and was cleared today to eat anything I want. So, tonight I enjoyed a thin pork chop and tiny salad.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
