Love that you are talking to your liver. I think I will do the same when I start my 3week liquid diet on tuesday.

So I had my surgery Dec 16, 2013. I am now 5 1/2 months post op. My HW was approx 320 (although it was higher when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2011). My SW was 297. My CW is 241. I have had no complications, yay me! I have never dumped, yay me! The only thing i cannot tolerate is sugar, yay me! I'm

Protégé of WLS? Probably not. I am very lucky though. There are many days where i do feel like I am failing this amazing tool I have been given. Then, out of nowhere, another 5 pounds disappears. Amazing how the cycle works.

For me anyway - I will go through major Constipation and being severely gassy. I have come to terms with this is my bodies way of 'shedding its uneeded waste' then after an unknown amount of time, I GO POTTY!!! And I am on the losers bench for about a week straight. Then i return to the cycle of stallage, I call it. So for those out there who get discouraged, don't. Our tool does work!! Just don't forget to eat!

One thing though that seems to have me beat, is the fact that my body is in rough shape. It hurts so bad to try and be physically active. My low back is awful. I was hopeful that once i had lost my first 50#, that I could get on track and start a routine - however, 50# has come and gone - and I still cant excersize. I know I would probably almost be at goal if I could. I am ok with this though. My weight is coming off a bit slower than others - but I'd rather it come off a bit slower than so fast I mentally & physically cannot keep up. I do not have a whole lot of the saggy skin, and I am portraying this to losing on the slower side.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
