Am new to the group but glad I found it! I am 6-days out of surgery and am enjoying the journey. I was hospitalized for a few days after my initial release from the hospital because of pain. Now the gas that I have is so unbearable that I can't move at times! Does this go away?? I am a day away from finishing the all liquid portion of the diet and am a bit terrified of what's to come.

Did you have surgery on 7.19.12 ? I did lol . I too am having gas pain (crying to breathe sometimes) still. It has gotten a lot better by me taking gasx chewables and walking as much as possible . I get tired easily so long distances are a joke . Took me 1 hour to pick up a few items in Walmart !

I start full liquids tomorrow (im excited) so I went and bought some cream of broccoli and chicken like stuff . I also bought almond milk and yahoo Togo packets (no sugar, 5 calories) !

Welcome to the group ! Everyone here is nice !

We will have to keep each other updated on how we're doing. If you need support in here for you!! I'm sure I will need it too! 16 pounds is awesome!! I'm kinda curious to see where I bottom out. I was 205 when I played college ball with 5% body fat but I was HUGE!! I worked out with 305 lbs but am only 5 foot 8. I still lift but don't do much power lifting anymore.

Gonna be a great journey!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
