Thank you so much' date=' I am ready for my new start.[/quote']

I have read a lot and apparently there is shrinkage of the fatty tissue so it definitely is beneficial. I am not liking the liquid diet I have cheated several times but made sure it is healthy Proteins And only small portions 1 time a day for satiety. It seems to be really helping and I'm loosing weight already getting into smaller sizes. Surgery is officially a week away on the 30th and I'm spiked but scared about the ability to find likable maintainable foods postop. I have such a varied pallet now that I'm nervous as to the changes that may occur later

My surgery went well on 4/23/13, I went home yesterday, still really sore and tired. I am walking and taking in Clear Liquids, not a lot but enough they said. My pouch likes Jello and Popsicles

The surgeon found a Hernia he had to surgically repair, and a lot of scar tissue they had to remove, he said it was really 3 surgeries he gad to do, so now I know why I'm sore. I haven't had any problems with nausea at all Thank Goodness.

Thank you honey, no regrets here. I'll take it a day at a time like my surgeon says. Good luck to you all, they really keep a close eye in you and only let you go if everything checks out ok.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
