Good morning all! I'm new to this site. I had my Sleeve January 20th. I can't believe it has been over a week. Does anyone have any encouraging tips?

Just keep doing what the doctor tells you to do. Get your Protein and Water in everyday. I plan my food for the whole day to ensure I'm not short on protein at the end of the day and don't have enough time to make it up. Start exercising, even if it is only for 10 minutes to start with. The weight will start disappearing! I am 4 months out and down 75 lbs. Good luck.

Remember that things get easier--getting in your Water and Protein won't always be as challenging as it is now. Fatigue will get better, but it takes time. Rest when you can! You're on your way!! :)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm definitely walking. It is getting easier to get the Water and Protein in. My husband had the sleeve 16 months ago and He has lost 140 pounds. He is a great encouragement and support system.

I'm looking ahead now. Does anyone have any good recipes?

Hello I was sleeved 1-22-14. One week ago today! I'm down 7lbs. I feel run down and sore at the incision sites. I'm not hungry. I'm able to drink well. I'm on liquids for one more week then two weeks of soft foods. I like veg broth Jello and crystal light. nectar Cappuccino protien powder tastes good but many other favors are gross to me now. I'm getting about 300 cal 40g Protein in the last few days. chewable Vitamins and sublingual b-12 and Biotin are tolerated ok too. Sf Popsicles but I've only had half of one. I'm going on vacation next week. I hope I have the energy.

Hi, Kayakerak. Congratulations on getting through the surgery. Everyone continues to tell me everyday gets better and I have to say they are mostly right. I hope you continue to do well. I'm still struggling with Water and Protein intake but today is better than last week. Keep up the good work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
