I'm finally here on the losers bench. It's been a tough 2 days. Surgery was Tuesday. I've had dry heaves/some vomiting. Ugh' date=' really feeling better today since they switched ny anti nausea meds last night. :-). Now drinking my first Protein shake and Water with crystal light. Sip, walk, sip & walk are gonna be my list of things to do!

I had my surgery on May 9. Not sure what my weight was that day (silly, I know) but I've lost 7.5 since my discharge day of Saturday! Things went very well but the surgeon tied the top of my pouch a little tight so fixed it while still in. Because I was under an hour longer than usual, he insisted on my staying an extra day to see how I tolerated fluids. The worst part was having my drain removed. It wasn't planned but he was being extra cautious bc of the minor complication (which I appreciate). The drain removal SUUUUUUCKED. Oh, I almost passed out. I'm a little tired but very mobile. Am able to get in about 30 g of Protein per day but that's pushing it for me. Pushing the liquids, though. How is everyone else?!??!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
