Hey' date=' thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it. It helps so much to stay connected. I've found the more I eat the Protein, it helps. I'm just exhausted. I want to get out to exercise and it's hard to motivate. I had the surgery two weeks and two days ago. :-)[/quote']

I had surgery a two weeks and 1 day ;) my energy level is pretty decent. What I have noticed if I get tired easily.. also im feeling slight pain under my incisions.. ita like one of them is stick to something and as I cant stretch or it feels like its pulling. Best what I cam describe.. I feel it in my back as well.

I am definitely going through some emotional stuff. It's very odd to not eat over it.

I feel like I can eat too much it's weird but with my band when I felt discomfort I'd stop because it hurts this sleeve as long as I take my time I'm good

Over time you will get used to not eating. Its tough for me when I am stressed because I want to eat everything but luckily I can't. as for how I am doing I am down 83 lbs and feel amazing. I have hit a plateau for the last month however I have been losing inches and gaining muscle so I am not worried about the scale not moving. All in all I have to say that getting the sleeve was the best decision I ever made.

Wow that's amazing. I would assume it gets much easier. It already has in two weeks. Can I ask what your goal loss is.

      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.
