7 days post op I had a "mental" hunger where I just wanted to feel the texture and taste the flavor of REAL food! Then, I got a slight empty stomach feeling. But, like someone else said earlier, it's NOTHING compared to the starving feeling from pre-op. If anything, the "mental" hunger can be harder to handle. After all, there's only so much excitement I can conjure up for my Protein Shakes, three times a day. :/

My surgery was 10/10/12. Weighed in at 214.5 preop. I'm feeling really good. Not skinny yet and not sure how fast I will get there. At 206 this morning, 18 days out. Seems kind of slow going. Just trying to follow the program. No problems at all, thank goodness. Am trying to be be active. Glad I have your company on the journey.

Love the comment about those wonderful Protein Shakes! Lol I think I'm gonna try to putting some frozen fruit in mine so maybe it will feel like a real Dairy Queen smoothie! Lol

Keep up the good work! We had our surgery on the same date so will have to keep into touch for sure. Our surgery weight wasn't too far off either, cause I was 219 and now I'm 209. I gained 2 pounds then went back down on that 209 the next day....kinda crazy!

I took the full four weeks and had to add another due to the logistics for follow up appointments. My husband is having his surgery tomorrow morning. I need the time to just get into the swing of taking care of myself in this new fashion! I either get all my Protein in or all my Water, but have yet to do both. Vitamins are a work in process!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
