I'm new to this site ;) and I just had my surgery on 3/8/12. I'm so excite for this new life ;) right now I'm still on the liquid diet and I'm struggling. Next Wednesday I have my check up and hopefully I'll be able to eat food. Do any of you have any suggestions for me for the next few days?

Congrats to you both and really soon you'll be allowed to eat something more solid. In the meantime why not take this time to research the boards and internet, learn more about the process that you're going through and how to get the best results. There are tons of books out there too. I love doing the research and getting more info...the more you know the more empowered you will be :) Congrats and I wish you both the best!

Yes congrats to u both! You will be over the liquid phase soon enough, hang in there! It's important that u don't rush the process, u are healing inside still. I wanted to stay on liquids, because one I was nervous about getting sick and two it meant I had to cook, boo! Lol!! Good luck making it through, stay strong.

One day or one minute at a time! When you start eating its not going to be much. I had my surgery 10 months ago! Still losing around 1.5 pounds a week but it's slowing down. Don't rush eating cause now I can eat a lot around a cup and should of took it slower

      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.
