Hey there! I was sleeved just one day after you, on Sept 27th! Things are starting to get better for me too. I noticed that drinking fluids have gotten SO much better, I barely even think that I'm "sipping". It used to be so painful. I'm also not getting enough Water nor Protein.

I'm averaging at about 500 calories a day now, and having about 30 to 40 ounces of Water (ugh, it's hard!). As for Protein, I'm getting about 40 to 50 grams of protein a day... But I was told to work my way up to between 60 to 100 grams a day. But when I saw my doctor, he told me to just keep focusing on water intake and to have whatever I can as far as protein, and not beat myself up too much.

As far as physically, I'm doing BAD with exercising. I haven't walked enough, let alone exercising. My days haven't been sedentary as much as before, but it's still very bad for what I'm supposed to be doing. I haven't walked a mile yet! I'm ashamed and upset at myself for that :(

Other than that, my scars are still super pink, but completely closed up! Yay. I haven't gotten any pain around my abdomen for about 2 weeks, except for YESTERDAY, when I had this horrible sharp pain around the biggest incision, that kinda felt like gas, but it went away after a little while, so I suppose it was nothing serious. What about you?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
