Hello to both of you. I was sleeved 11/18. Doing fantastic. Share your information because every time you burp LOL you will be looking on this forum for help and guidance. I will share that I feel the sleeve was so much easier than I expected, and I have the energy to get up and go anywhere I please again. I went grocery shopping 4 days after surgery. I have not slowed since. Everything will be better! Good luck!

:D High Five :D that is my date too! Scheduled for 11:30 AM. I've even done far better on the 10 day pre-op diet that I figured I would.

I had an experience today at work that took away any possible doubt (not that there really was any) about having surgery. I went to meet the temp who will be helping out during my absence and to bring her back to our department. She is truly as big around as she is tall and she had to stop four times to catch her breath. I was thinking I'd be training a new temp tomorrow because there is no way she will want to work here for two weeks if she has to walk that distance twice a day. I really need to be thankful I am working where I have the insurance to cover this and that they offer the paid time off as well. Truly a "there but for the Grace of God, go I" moment for me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
