I Need Some Help Please Sx 8/13



Recommended Posts

It's normal. Make sure you are getting enough fluids. Dehydration is nothing to mess around with. Above all else, sip, sip, sip. Getting up and just shuffling around the house will help too. Don't overdo it. You just had major surgery.

I'm 8 days out and just taking a shower exhaust me. But it is slowly getting better. I'm trying to get in as much Protein and fluids as I can. When I get frustrated I just remind myself that I just had major surgery. Hang in there......

Are you doing the wait 30min before and after with food and Water?

This is a must , if you eat and drink at the same time or to soon it flushes the food out of you pouch, than you will be hungery again all over again.

Depends how far out you are but here is my rule of thumb. I take one swallow every 15-20 seconds. Going thru a cup in about 45 minutes depending.

8 fl oz usually takes me a bit but every surgeons rules are different

      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? 🤷‍♀️
