14 days post op and I feel great.

Limited soft foods for the next 4 weeks, then gradually add meat and other stuff back in.

So blessed and thankful!!

Praying for everyone!

Hi folks - Had the surgery on 6/11. Started the pre-op testing (cardio,pulmonary, specialists, psych, etc.) back in January but hit a snag with insurance that postponed my date for over a month. Started in mid-January at 348 lbs: date of surgery weight was 295 ( thanks to an extended liquid diet because of the delay ) and now around 290. Its only been 5 days so my body must be going through an adjustment. I'm staying off the scale for a while until I start feeling more "normal" again.

Hi guys,

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. And I must say I am very nervous about this surgery as it is becoming real the closer I get. I am having moments where I want to back out......

Hey guys,

5 days post op.. Confused!!! Never feel hungry, but also when i start sipping never feel full.. I sip insanely slow.. Maybe thats why???

I barely get 40-41 oz a day, and my dr told me 80!!!! Its just too hard, if you drink fast-you know what happens..

I will start my Protein Shakes tomorrow.

Almost 10 pounds lost so far from surgery day.

Feeling nervous is normal; just keep reminding yourself why you want to do this. I had my moments, too, but now that I'm 2 weeks post-op, I feel much better, and am very happy I went through with it.

Hey guys!

Just got my surgery done on the 14th,

2 days ago.

I'm a little bit sore but okay, waking up from the anesthesia is the worst part but it gets better by the hour.

I'm still having a really hard time getting in my 2 liters but i'm better than yesterday. Trying to keep a positive attitude ☺

Thanks for the encouragement.

For those of you who are running a low grade fever, without any other symptoms. Get up and move more, feel your lungs up with plenty of oxygen, and increase Water. 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? 🤷‍♀️
