San Diego? I'm 3 weeks out, feeling the ups and downs of it right now.



Recommended Posts

I highly recommend my surgeon, Dr. Wittgrove in La Jolla, CA. I've had a few setbacks already with gastroentiritis, but its because I misunderstood that I could introduce eggs to my diet, yet my doctor wanted me only on liquids for the entire month because I had a severe hiatal hernia he repaired. So far I've joined the gym, and I'm going to it as well! I hired a personal trainer for once a week, joined support groups, taking my Vitamins and Protein Shakes, yet I feel the need to engage in the kitchen where there is food to prepare my shakes and Soups, but I'm never hungry and feel forced to do this when I really don't even want to???? Sigh.... its taking a lot of discipline, meal plannings, and motivation. Just need to keep at it and not be discouraged. That's why I decided to join in on these forums.

After a while you get into the swing of things and it is second nature. You have changed bad eating habits for goods one and that is MAJOR !!! Your life is not revolved around food anymore !!! The love affair is over!! I am 14 months post op and I have so much time to do other things instead of focusing on food all the time. I know what I can eat and what I can't anymore, I am on regular food. Don't worry you will get into the groove of it soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
