I had my surgery on Friday May 17th I got o come home yesterday. I'm doing pretty good not having any issues except I feel super full all the time. Not hungry at all. I had a low heart rate after surgery so I have to have it checked out. They didn't seem to hunk it meant anything but the doctor suggested I have it looked at. They also did a EKG in he middle of he night on Fruday and it came back fine. Soo I have an appointment on the 29th to have it checked again. I have to have another EKG before the appointment. I hope it's nothing my mom had a low heart rate after her knee surgery so it could just run m my family. We will see. Other than hat was not nervous at all before going in. Cracked jokes at my surgeon had everyone laughing!! I am not in pain and haven't taken any pain meds today t all. Walked down the street a little ways

S this afternoon. Not very far though. All in all I'm doing great!!

Glad to see all is well.

I know what ya mean! Glad your okay. It will get easier. It was a tough weekend for me, but I got up and went to the mall to walk. The gas was the worst feeling. I took hot showers, a heating pad and used Gas X strips. Thank goodness its subsided! I hope your feeling better soon.

I know exactly what you mean. I just don't feel like me. Just a little struggle trying to get back to normal day to day activities

Hang in there May ladies (and gents)! My surgery was 4/9 and it wasn't a picnic. We are freaking our bodies out an they react in different ways. I have my energy back and start 'regular' food today. Even though i've been grumpy at times,, teary, frustrated and just plain tired, I would NOT change my mind about having this surgery. I am down 43 lbs and loving it! Hang in there and keep your eyes on your long range goals of a healthier life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
