They are wonderful there. He was my doctor. I was sleeved on 01/06/14. You are doing the right thing. The walking helped me to much with all the gas.

I am less than 24 hours out of surgery. I am honestly walking around, drinking Gatorade, feeling fine. Dr. Ortiz is the best. My P is funny colors,but everything else seems normal. My leak test went fine, and I'm going to the Marriott tomorrow.

I can't believe how easy this actually was.

Hi...I am a newbie. Had my surgery on Jan7th in New Jersey. I honestly didnt think it was going to be so hard. I spent 2 days in, and got re admitted for 2 more days. I am starting to get sick of full liquids. I haven't had any food since Dec 23. Had to do 2 weeks of Protein Shakes. I have some soreness in my stomach. But everything goes down fine. Stomach makes gurgling noises. But I feel hungry...and when I do eat I feel so full. It like you can't win! Sometimes I worry I am not getting enough. This is all so confusing to me! Does anyone know a good Protein Shake. So far all the ones I have tried stink! Thank you.

I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It wasnt bad the first day. Kept myself busy today was horrid, I woke up with a bit of a Migraine. . My muscles were so sore from Lord knows what and I faced "head hunger" tonight. Thats wasnt pretty but I got through it. I had the tiniest taste of some tuna that I made for son but other than that I was good.

How many shakea do u do on your diet? I have to get 5 in amd finding it impossible. I can get 4, I will manage my time better tomorrow. With the 4 day weekend its hard to keep busy. I want to lounge on the couch but then that is where the head hunger comes in. I get bored lol

Good luck on yours!! U got this! I can have sf pudding and sf Jello, that saves me. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
