Anyone ever get paranoid that their surgeon didn't do anything? I saw my tiny pouch on xray, and yet I'm skeptical. How crazy is that?

I feel that way. I am a week out and told my husband. I do not feel a lot different,maybe they just put holes in me and did nothing. I thought I was the only one!

I just feel like I shouldn't be able to tolerate what I can. I can eat 1 full egg! I get full, but I don't get sick or anything. Same with the Protein shakes lol. It's weird.

I know what you mean. It's scary. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid.

It's alright! I'm two weeks post-op and interning, working, and going to grad school full-time, so I'm more than tired when I get home lol. I was ready to go back, but being that I'm so busy, it's hard to get in all the recommended Water and Protein throughout the day. When do you go back?

I went back Monday, I was 2 wks post op (my Sx was 1/14) & I can't do it, I'm sweaty & feel like I could pass out! I was drinking H2o okay, just not getting the Protein in & still sore as all get out : / My scrubs were too new & rubbed on my incisions, etc, etc....It was perfectly wrong : ( Guess I will be riding the couch for a while longer. Glad your doing well...btw where do u get all that energy???

No energy at all. lol. I had none before surgery, and none now haha. Today I'm actually a bit dizzy, which I'm concerned about. You are still a bit sore? How are your incisions healing up?

OMG I swear I thought the same thing!!! I don't feel that much different and I started to think they just put these small incisions in me and took my money lol...I thought I was the only one who thought that!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
