You did awesome. How hard was it?

It was hard at the beginning, It takes a lot of planning and effort to get in your Protein and fluids but after I found Premier shakes at Sam's club I had a much easier time. I walk and lift light weights 4-6 days a week. But overall it's great, I have rarely been sick, and the recovery from surgery was not bad at all. As a person who has lost large amounts of weight in the past only to gain it all back plus some, I love the sleeve, it just gives me control and peace of mind that I can do this! Thanks for all the sweet comments!

Thanks again for all the sweet comments, it really means a lot! If anyone reading this is still on the fence about to have surgery or not, I would do it and don't look back! It is not always an easy road but the results are worth it! Here is one more photo! Again I appreciate all the support and information I have gotten from all of you on this journey!

Well I can eat just about anything without getting sick however I try to stay with Protein first then salad of veggies, I also have at least I shake a day if not two, I drink lots of coffee and unsweetened tea. I really would like to lose 20-30 more lbs so I can't help with maintaining yet.

Also my sleeve is still very restrictive so as I mentioned before I try to eat Protein first, I also avoid sugar & carbs but I can still only eat very small amount at a time.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
