Actually, things ARE going great!! I feel so lucky to be recovering this well :D I have zero heartburn, acid reflux, nausea or vomiting!! I'm able to get in all my Protein & Water. Other than this pesky drain ( which comes out Monday morning ) I am doing super!! Thanks so much for asking.

Best wishes to you during your pre-op and for a quick recovery afterward! I was so determined that I never once felt like I was missing out on anything during my pre-op time. I wasn't hungry, and even though I didn't like the Protein shakes, I managed to get them down. The think I missed the most was my coffee with cream and sugar. You can do this, and before you know it, you will be sitting right beside all of us on the loser's bench!!! Go get em! You got this!!!

Hey there! I just sent you a private message, but I was just sleeved a week ago by Dr. Schroder (3/27) and I'm so excited for you!! You will do great and let me know if you have any questions. I'm by NO means an expert, but since surgery was so recent, I can help you with my experiences.

Good luck!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
