I have adjusted pretty well, I still feel like I need to eat at night. Most of the time I'll eat like a mini bag of popcorn when I feel like that. I wake up and drink a Protein Shake in the morning and by lunch time I'm pretty hungry. I really like cheese, it's easy to eat and it doesn't hurt. So I'll eat a cheese stick with some turkey or chicken. And dinners I make normal things for my family and eat what I can. I'm still doing good with my portion sizes. I have not been the perfect patient, i do go out on the weekends and have drinks and I have been getting into the Halloween candy but I think it's ok to enjoy every now and then. As for my pre weight loss, I lost 20 pounds. I wasn't required to loose weight I was just supervised by the doctor for 6 months. She put me on phentermine, and it helped me loose weight but it made me really mean and short tempered. Overall I'm so happy with my results, now I really need to step it up and work out more and make sure I get in all my Protein. Thank you all for your nice comments!

And I didn't have any complications or side effects. I still get heart burn which sucks. I was released the day after my surgery, barely any pain, no gas pain. I was up and walking around right after I woke up from anesthesia. I think I stayed in bed for three days then I felt like I was ready to get back to house work. I guess a side effect would be I'm always cold but it's an easy fix!

It is hard for me to believe that your current photo is at 190 pounds. You look amazing. How tall are you? I should also try to get down to 160 but am not optimistic that I will make it. If I look as great as you when I hit 190 I may just stop there. Thanks for sharing your photos

Thank you! I really haven't exercised ive gone on a couple walks here and there but don't have a gym membership. My weight loss has slowed down a lot so im getting a membership this week. I think doing this in my twenties has helped with the weight loss too.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
